As snow begins to fall around the UK, this beautiful book about hibernation is the perfect choice for bedtime.
The story shows you ten familiar animals as they all snuggle up for the winter with their families. Bears cuddle up in caves, squirrels curl up in their nests, mice tuck themselves in to the little tunnels they have dug underground and turtles dive down deep to the sticky mud at the bottom of the pond.
The choice of language is really soothing and the gentle rhyme is repetitive so I love reading this to Ivy on nights when a little extra calm is required before putting her to bed.
She loves the illustrations of the sleepy baby animals and it’s a great way to introduce the concept of certain creatures hibernating for the winter. I have a pet tortoise who lives with Ivy’s grandparents and she can’t quite get her head around the fact that he has been asleep since before Christmas and still hasn’t woken up!
