About This Book

A father and daughter cross-country ski through a hushed, white winter landscape, unaware of the secret world of animals thriving beneath the snow. Snowshoe hares, hibernating bears, tunneling voles, and sleeping bullfrogs all have their own hidden lives in the subnivean zone under the frosty surface.

Why We Love This

One of the best nature books we own - it completely changed the way our kids look at a snowy field, knowing that a whole hidden world is bustling underneath.
