Counting Winter

Count the wonders of the tundra from 1 to 12 in this stunning celebration of an Alaskan winter.

One red fox walks on snow—stalking winter. Two ravens croak and gurgle—talking winter. Three snowshoe hares hop—tracking winter. Wherever you look, another animal is making its mark on the coldest time of year. 

Inspired by her years living in Alaska, Nancy White Carlstrom celebrates the tundra with dynamic poetry, counting winter’s wonders from 1 to 12.  Claudia McGehee’s stunning scratchboard art was influenced by her own snowy surroundings and vibrantly brings the text to life. This sturdy board book edition of Counting Winter is adapted for the youngest reader and a perfect read aloud for chilly days, whether winter is just beginning or just starting to melt into spring.
