Cold

by Tim McCanna (Author) Ramona Kaulitzki (Illustrator)

Reading Level: K − 1st Grade

This lyrical environmental picture book introduces readers to some of the most beautiful and fascinating cold climate creatures and habitats all over the world.

Cold is a morning dappled in dew; an ocean, swirling and deep; a desert shrouded by night; and tiny tracks on hills of snow. No matter where or how, life finds a way even in the coldest weather.

From an octopus to an arctic hare, meet animals who thrive in chilly environments and learn about the climate phenomena that shape their homes.

Kirkus

"Rhyming couplets accompanied by nature scenes encourage youngsters to admire what the outside world has to offer in the colder seasons. Perfectly pitched and paced, McCanna’s elegant, well-chosen words would make this a pleasure to read aloud...Lovely."

ALA/Booklist

"Lovely illustrations and eloquent, rhyming prose combine in this inviting, engaging introduction to the concept of coldness."
