A Snowy Sleep – A Tale Of Hibernation

As autumn fades and winter draws near, the woodland grows quieter day by day. Beneath fallen leaves, inside hollow trees, and in secret places hidden from sight, animals prepare for the season ahead.

Follow a dormouse, red squirrel, hedgehog, long-eared bat, and brown-lipped snail on a journey through a world touched by frost and snowfall. As the days grow shorter and colder, each animal must find the perfect place to settle down for a long winter rest.

Lovingly told in verse by Jess Lynch and beautifully illustrated by Monika Pollak, A Snowy Sleep – A Tale of Hibernation is a cosy celebration of nature's rhythms and the quiet wonder of the winter months.

"A magical tale of nature and of home. A story to snuggle up with - warm, lyrical, and very tender. This is a must-have on every picture book shelf."

Delivery information

Delivery cost capped at €3 only within the island of Ireland.

If you order up to a few copies for delivery within the island of Ireland, the order will be, most likely, dispatched on the same day, regardless of the day of the week. If An Post keeps its promise of next-day delivery, you'll get your book within 2 days. If this doesn't happen, it won't be our fault, as this will be beyond our control.

If you order a larger amount of books, we will need to go to the post office to post them; this will be possible only from Monday to Saturday (An Post closes at 1 pm on Saturdays), so if you order on Saturday pm, we will be able to post your order the earliest on Monday morning.

If you order for UK delivery (excluding Northern Ireland), An Post promises 2-3 working days, but this rarely happens; please be aware that for some parcels it may take even 3 weeks to reach the destination within the UK. The same applies to other destinations outside Ireland.
