A boy learns that nature is full of stories to tell when he finds and follows a mouses tracks in a wintery wood.

Milo wants a story, but his mom is too busy to entertain him.

Instead, she encourages him to go out and play in the snow.

At first, Milo is disappointed - he doesnt want to play outside, he wants a story.

But when he starts to follow a trail of mouse-prints, he discovers signs of activity all around, prompting him to ask, What happened here? Before long, hes using his imagination -- depicted in lush wordless spreads that capture the vividness of Milos fantasies -- to fill in the gaps.

By the time Milo comes home, hes the one with stories to tell.

A must have for the winter season, Liza Woodruffs Once Upon a Winter Day is a fun read-aloud that shares details about animal behavior from a childs perspective.
