PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Meadows s (Pilot Pups) imaginative spin on hibernation, a menagerie prepares for winter as golden leaves give way to snowfall. A bear wearing a conductor s cap and train-themed pajamas hands out pillows to animals as they climb aboard a train fashioned from hollowed logs. Groundhogs, turtles, snakes, and frogs./ Slipping into holes and logs./ Fluff the pillows, snuggle in./ But then... commotion in a den!/ I cannot sleep! a black bear roars./ My roommate rolls around and snores! Chipmunks spill a drink and a frog is afraid to be alone but all finally fall asleep as the ursine crew soon gets everyone in order. Creatively balancing the real and the fanciful, Cyrus s (Pest Fest) digitally colored art is completely enchanting. Reminiscent of some of Jan Brett s creations, the animals are rendered at close range and in meticulous detail; their festive pajamas add a whimsical flourish (snakes and slugs in pjs who can resist?). The overall coziness should get readers in the mood for some overnight hibernation of their own. Ages 3 7.
