Who’s Been Here? 
A Tale of Tracks

Time For the Fair

We take a winter walk with Willy, a golden retriever who finds many different paw prints in the snow, but none are his own.  The reader sees the paw print and with the turn of the page he can find out what animal made the print—a cat, a turkey, a deer, a raccoon and many more.

Reviews
“Hayes’s watercolors evoke the frosty air of a winter wood, and Hodgkins’s simple, repetitive text allows readers to be a part of the story.  With multiple curriculum connections and a style perfect for group sharing, this book is ideal for classrooms or storytimes.”—School Library Journal

“Lovely twig-framed interior pictures. . . The layout requires a page turn to identify each animal, providing (children) an opportunity to guess at (the animal’s) identity from the tracks and a few supporting textual clues.”—Toni Buzzeo, children’s book author and library media specialist

“A thoughtful children’s picture book. . . the colorful artwork beautifully captures the beauty of fresh winter morning snow in this playful and inquisitive story.” –Midwest Book Review

“The illustrations fit like a snow boot, as good ones always do, and ending is an absolute hoot.”—Lincoln County News, Damariscotta, Maine
