After the Snowfall

By Richard Lo

This is a beautifully illustrated book that introduces children to the wonder of nature in winter:

A Fox Peeks Out of His Den at a White Forest/ All is Silent/A Buck Stands Camouflaged/
A great horned owl sits on a nearby branch/ The fox climbs out of this den/ He passes squirrels eating/ He passes mice foraging/ The fox reaches a stream where he takes a cold drink/ A family of mallard ducks swims by/ Across the stream, river otters rest on a rock/ Suddenly, the earth trembles. Towering over the fox, a moose takes a cold drink/ His thirst quenched, the fox heads home/ He passes rabbits hiding in a hollow tree/ Chattering crows greet the fox outside his den/ After the snowfall.
