It’s getting cold; there’s a chill in the air. As the days get shorter and autumn turns to winter, the woodland animals sense it’s time to find a place to settle down for the long sleep ahead. A dormouse, red squirrel, hedgehog, a long-eared bat, and a brown-lipped snail search trees, leaves, logs, and caves for the best hibernation locations. There’s much nesting and food-gathering to be done before the first snow falls and the creatures must curl up tight or huddle together for warmth until nature reawakens in spring. Publishing in October, Cork primary school teacher Jess Lynch’s debut picture book tells a tale of hibernation in rhyming verse, beautifully complemented by the rich chestnut and copper hues of Monika Pollak’s artwork, cooling to sleet grey as the winter chill descends.

About Us

Irish Interest in based on one very simple idea: to bring the contents of any Irish bookshop to people everywhere, especially those outside Ireland who do not have the possibility of keeping abreast of new books published in Ireland. The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
