Ladybug Book #10: Under the Snow

Under the Snow is the only nonfiction book that's nominated for this year's NH Ladybug award. Its author is Melissa Stewart, who knows a lot about science and animals. You can visit her website here. She has lots of activities and information for kids.

This story is set in the winter. It tells what goes on under the snow and ice and how many small animals hibernate during the long cold months. Lots of animals curl up in a ball to stay warm - just like we do!

This book has a illuminated letter at the beginning of the story's first sentence and at the beginning of the last sentence! That's different!
