The Big Snow
Berta and Elmer Hader
When the geese begin to fly south, the
leaves flutter down from the trees and
the cold winds begin to blow from the
north, the animals of the woods and
meadows, big and small, prepare for
the long, cold winter ahead when the
countryside is hidden under a deep
blanket of snow. They gather food and
look for warm, snug places in the
ground, trees, caves or thickets, where
they can find protection against the icy
winds.
It might have been hard for the birds
and animals of the hillside to survive
when the Big Snow came if their good
friends, who lived in the little stone
house, had not remembered to put
food out for them.
Here, in many beautiful pictures, the
Haders show how winter comes to the
woodland as the busy animals make
their preparations.
