A review by shighley
Over and Under the Snow by Kate Messner

5.0

Well done story that covers some new territory in a very literary way. Even the packaging of this book, the grade of paper, the selection of color, lend to the setting of the book. I felt cold while I read it! I enjoyed reading how Messner got the idea for the book while on a bus during a field trip. I can imagine that after reading this to students, they won't look at the snow-covered ground quite the same way, although I wouldn't be surprised if some are afraid they are stepping on an unsuspecting animal!

Nice author notes and descriptions of the animals are included in the back as well.
