1949 Caldecott Medal Winner Beautifully realistic pencil(?) and watercolor illustrations in this book. Some animals are leaving for the winter, and others stay behind. An old couple who lives near the woods puts out food for the animals during the Big Snow. Later, the ground hog sees his shadow, so there are six more weeks of winter before spring arrives. Not a whole lot of story, but it's a great celebration of nature for kids and introduces a variety of animals, particularly birds. The use of the legend of the ground hog also makes for a fun ending.
