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. She uses varying patterns in her descriptions, which are illustrated with vivid photographs in an appealing layout with good use of white space and varying fonts. 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. Grades K-3. Copyright 2019 Booklist Reviews.
