Whose Tracks in the Snow?

Book Synopsis

Can you guess who has made the tracks in the snow? A stunningly illustrated, natural history guessing game for nature loving pre-schoolers. A great companion title to Who is in the Egg?

Our Review Panel says...

From the author-illustrator of ‘Who is in the Egg?’, ‘Whose tracks in the Snow?’ is both beautiful to read and look at and also teaches children about the different animal tracks they could encounter in the countryside. Illustrated by the author, Alexandra Milton, an artist who has exhibited around the world, in her unique collage style using layered papers and colours, each animal is delightfully represented on the page. The story follows a walk through a snow-covered meadow, encountering different animal tracks and discovering the animal who left them behind. Told in rhyming stanzas this reminded me of books like ‘The Gruffalo’ or ‘Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?’. As well as telling a charming story each animal is accompanied by a factual paragraph telling the reader how the animal moves and makes the prints, as well as other information about them such as their habitat, where they sleep, special features, etc. At the end of the book is a two-page spread of life-size tracks for children to use to identify any prints they may spot in real life. A great book for sharing and learning about animals in nature.
