Discusses how and why animals hibernate and how they survive during their long winter sleep. Also considers the application of hibernation techniques to human beings. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a beautiful little book, which tells the story of the "seven sleepers" --seven species of hibernating animals--in clear, simple, perfect prose. The pen and ink drawings are also wonderful, jewel-like bits of reality. This would be a perfect addition to any young person's library and it has been a treasured volume in my own for years. The review quoted above exhibits a soulless misunderstanding of this perfect little book.
