“Hibernation Station” is a poetry book about forest animals and getting ready for winter hibernation. Each page has a couple bars of poetry and lots of animal illustrations, with the animals each wearing pajamas. As the woodland critters get ready for winter sleep, some animals clash with one another, such as the bear, who roars, “I cannot sleep! My roommate rolls around and snores! Eventually, all the animals snuggle up and rest for the duration of the winter. I thought the concept of this book was cute, as their bedtime rituals mimic those of people. It was also educational, as the illustrations showed where each animal hibernates, like th frog inside a log and the bear in a cave. I would recommend this book for kindergarten-1st grade. Students operating at these grade levels should be able to handle reading this book as well as enjoy it and learn from it.

Hibernation Station is a book that follows forest animals and their preparation for hibernation. The book includes dialogue between animals and uses rhymes throughout the book. This book is a modern fantasy.

A super cute story all about families of animals who are riding the "hibernation train". This book is full of rhyming words and beautifully illustrated images. I feel this story would be great to read during the fall season or right before winter and then to have a discussion about hibernation. I believe that children of any age would enjoy this book.
