The Snowy Nap by Jan Brett*

All the animals on the farm proclaim the wonderful sights of winter to Hedgie, knowing that he will not be able to witness them since he hibernates.  Hedgie is determined to stay awake so he too can experience the beauty of winter.  Thankfully, Lisa notices him and provides him the opportunity to observe the winter wonderland.
Typical Jan Brett format-borders tell additional stories and provide the chance for young readers to predict.
The characters are from her previous book, The Hat.
The illustrations are detailed and wonderful as usual, but they do not seem as crisp.
The Author's Note was interesting as she relates how the idea of this book germinated.
Strategy: predicting
*Highly recommend.
