Winter, Awake ReviewThis book is VERY Waldorf, so if the idea of King Winter offends you you might want to skip it. I love this book, personally, and my children do as well. Winter, Awake! has marvelous paintings. The book is perfect for the day after Thanksgiving as it begins with a description of the Harvest. Then, the plants and animals of the earth grow more and more weary of Autumn, and long for the rest and respite of Winter. Beginning with the trees, they whisper in King Winter's ear pleading for him to wake up. With the evocative text you experience not only marvelous rhythm and alliteration but you see a picture painted as well of how each spends the winter. The ladybug longs to gather together with her relatives and peacefully sleep Wintertime away. The Autumn leaves are tired of skipping and swirling and long to lie still and cover and protect seeds and roots. The story develops like this as each in turn makes its plea to King Winter:
the tired trees
the brittle leaves
garter snakes with slitted eyes
fuming bees
little leaping peeping frogs
a pert and perky chickadee
a cheeky chubby chattering squirrel
a gruff and grumpy grumbling bear
and finally, at last, a round red ladybug.
This book is a wonderful way for your child to explore how others see Winter, and it is perfect to read right before the first snowfall. You might want to have your King Winter doll [...] at the ready so that when your child wakes up to snow on the ground he can see that King Winter has appeared on the Nature table.Winter, Awake Overviewhe coming of Winter plays an important role in the cycle of nature. In this delightfully illustrated story, young children can find that for "every thing there is a season."Winter, Awake! tells what happens one year when Winter will not wake. The tired trees need to rest. Their fallen leaves have made a leafy blanket for the sleeping seeds. All the woodland creatures try to tell Winter their work is done. They scold and mock and urge, but Winter will not wake, until, at last, the round red ladybug in her small, soft voice whispers something gently in his ear—and mighty Winter wakes! (Ages 5–7)
