A beautifully illustrated collection of 5-minute bedtime stories about the wildlife that calls some of the world's coldest places home.
In this charming anthology of children’s stories by Alicia Klepeis, readers will meet the amazing animals that aren't troubled by a little snow. Stories include the tale of the polar bear who drifts hundreds of miles on an ice floe and must find his way home, macaques enjoying self-care in the natural thermal springs of the Japanese Alps, and a Weddell seal outswimming orcas in the ice-cold waters around Antarctica.
Other stories feature flying squirrels, guanacos, beavers, goshawks, pandas, snow leopards, kangaroos, penguins, reindeer, ibexes, and even geckos in the Atlas Mountains. All of these animals and their snow-covered habitats are brought to life with illustrations by Cédric Abt.
Each story in Secrets of the Snow is based on the real biology and behavior of these amazing wild animals, and at the end of each tale readers will find out more about the science that inspired the story.
The cover features a timeless design with foil and a cloth texture, making this book the perfect gift.
