Brief Synopsis: This is a story about field mice, bears, snails, squirrels and ground hogs that sleep throughout the winter.

My Refection of the book persuading people to read it:
I really enjoyed reading this book! This book can be used as a filler in the classroom that children will be interested in. It is a great book to read to your students about the hibernation process.
