There's a stranger in the woods! Forest animals investigate this stranger, a snowman, that has taken up residence in their woods. The birds snap up the birdseed scattered on the forest floor around him, and a deer bites off his carrot nose. Meanwhile, unseen by the animals, two children watch in silence from their hiding place to make sure the animals eat all the food. On their way home, they wonder how many more carrots they'll need to make sure the deer don't go hungry before the snow melts.

This endearing book, especially suited for animal-loving children, will be a favorite winter story in no time. The illustrations are photographs taken out in a snow-covered forest and are accompanied by clever text and dialog from all sorts of curious critters.
