About this title

Synopsis:

Despite their elaborate preparations for the winter, the animals and birds are delighted by a surprise banquet after a big snow

From the Back Cover:

This compilation of Caldecott winners unites three wonderful children's picture books, written and illustrated by a gifted husband-and-wife duo. The stories combine imaginative color drawings with enchanting storytelling, and all three focus on wildlife ecology, depicting memorable scenes from the natural world.
The Big Snow takes place when the geese are headed south and the forest creatures put on their winter coats. When a blanket of snow covers the hills and valleys, the birds, squirrels, mice, and other animals gratefully gather the seeds, nuts, and other foods that the little old man and woman spread for them.
Cock-a-Doodle-Doo traces a little chick's journey from a duck farm to the big red barn, where the rooster's cry draws him across the wide meadow and its many dangers, from crows and raccoons to a marauding fox.
The Mighty Hunter is actually Little Brave Heart, who's reluctant to go to school until he encounters a prairie dog, wildcat, buffalo, and other animals that change his mind about the value of reading and writing.
Dover (2014) unabridged republications of The Big Snow (1948), Cock-A-Doodle-Doo (1939), and The Mighty Hunter (1943), all originally published by the Macmillan Company, New York.
