Winter Is Coming by Tony Johnston illustrated by Jim LaMarche*

I love any book illustrated by Jim LaMarche!
The reader witnesses a young girl retreating into the woods each month to observe wildlife from her special platform in the tree.
The reader can predict about what the girl is doing by clues in the illustrations and the prediction is confirmed by the back end pages.
The refrain, "winter is coming", is repeated.
Strategies: predicting, inferring-figurative language
