Critic reviews
"There are different types of dormancy among plants and animals, with hibernation as possibly the most familiar form. Atkins explores how trees, insects, mammals, reptiles, birds, and even invertebrates pause and rest in response to changes in the seasons. In spare, rhythmic language, she describes first the process of entering dormancy and then of waking up.... The text is deceptively simple; Atkins expresses the nuances among the different groups, unifying them with the all-purpose phrase 'you would pause,' since dormancy can last for an entire season or a few hours. A detailed description of the differences in dormancy is at the end, followed by books and websites for further reading and research. This title could be incorporated into a class in many ways, such as a read aloud, an introduction to a science unit, or a thematic unit about seasons." (Booklist)
"A refreshingly original exploration of a physical process both common and important in the natural world." (Kirkus Reviews, starred)
