What wakes the bear, squirrel, fox, and hedgehog from their winter slumber? Why do they all leave their cozy sleeping spots? Children aged 2 and up will quickly be enchanted by this delightful story. Like the animals depicted, they will want to dream, cuddle, and then spontaneously join in the fun. In "Winter Wonder," language, music, and movement are uniquely intertwined: the specially composed music narrates the story musically and makes it come alive. Role-playing with plenty of movement intensifies the narrative. Through the reading or the spoken text on the CD, language is added as another layer of experience. Cross-curricular, "Winter Wonder" can be integrated into projects like "Animals and Their Habitats." The author provides suggestions for practically implementing the story in everyday kindergarten life in the accompanying didactic commentary.
