Summary:
As trees, animals, birds, and insects prepare for winter, people gather in warm homes to give thanks. Beautiful illustrations.

Teaching Ideas:
The simple text uses active words to describe hibernation and preparation for winter. Beginning readers and ESOL students get help from the illustrations as they build vocabulary. Learners could tell how they prepare for winter, especially if winter is a new season for them. The book provides a model for writing about other months of the year in a poetic way.
