Antler, Canoe, Bear: A Northwoods Alphabet Year

With beautiful color woodcut illustrations, Betsy Bowen shows the vibrant magic in each Northwoods day throughout the seasons:  In winter a canoe waits beneath the heavy snow while the river is frozen, while bear  is in his deep winter sleep, and people sit by their fires and read books.  But then Spring arrives, and it’s time for canoeing, fishing and enjoying the wildlife around ponds and rivers. All of this and more is celebrated in the cyclical rhythms of life in the North Country.
