Margaret Hall’s simple science book about Hibernation is a fine introduction on the subject for young children. Though it isn’t all that exciting or engaging, it is a very straightforward explanation of the process that features a wide variety of animals who hibernate, including some very adorable photos that children who love animals will be sure to love.

The book is one in the Patterns in Nature series, and is intended to help children ages four and up discover the different patterns and happenings in nature in our world. Bold chapter headings present the information in an easy, accessible way, while the book’s table of contents helps children locate specific sub-topics within the book.
