PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Across Wheeler's quaint seasonal story, the animal residents of Acorn Village revel in winter weather that sees the community hopping with activity. First following a bunny family, the Hopps, sensorial text explains that "Winter Cozy" begins with the aroma of "breakfast sizzling on the stove." Domestic projects, including stirring stew, baking bread, crafting, and block building, initially occupy the family and neighbors, until the community heads outdoors for snowy pleasures. Even Hilda, a bona fide night owl and writer, ventures forth on "a Flight of Inspiration." A gratitude-filled feast and crackling fire round out the day before all settle in for "a Cozy Winter Sleep"—except Hilda, naturally, who begins writing the story of a snowy forest village. Wheeler's jolly worldbuilding and digital renderings of Acorn Village offer up absorbingly detailed depictions of the critters' comfortable wintertime lifestyles. Ages 2–5.
