Big Snow
by Berta Hader
Review this book!
As various animals notice the geese flying south for the winter, they make their own preparations for the season. For example, the rabbits eat plenty of cabbage leaves and carrot tops so they can grow thick fur coats and the chipmunk climbs into her underground burrow which she spent the summer filling with a supply of seeds and nuts. When winter finally arrives, the deer scour the woods for food to eat. Color and b&w illustrations accompany the text. Winner of the 1949 Caldecott Medal.

First Line
"Honk-honk-honk." The wild geese were flying south. The big harvest moon had come and gone. Red and gold were the leaves on the maples and oaks, and the wind that blew down from the north was cold.
