Stranger in the Woods: A Photographic Fantasy
Who is this stranger? Why did he arrive after a winter storm and what surprises does he bring?
A delightful book of the animals and birds reaction to a snowman who suddenly appeared in their woods after a winter storm. This tale is beta-carotene for the spirit in everyone!

I read this book to an active Kindergarten class and they were completely engaged! We were celebrating the first day of winter so it tied in nicely with the snow, sledding, and snowman theme. The photographs are beautiful but, what the children enjoyed most was the animals voices in the story. Each animal “talks like it sounds” in nature. For example the mourning dove’s “Coo-coo-could that be him?”
This book is an instant wintertime classic (you may also appreciate the subtle undertones of conservation and care of our forest friends). The hardcover edition would make a terrific gift for any young child.
