A man traveling through unknown woods admires the wildlife and nature during the winter snowfall.  The man describes his horse’s curiosity throughout their journey.  He talks about how he would love to stay and enjoy the snowy weather but he has promises to keep and a long time before he sleeps.  I would read this book to students in third grade through sixth grade that are working on poetry in class. I would read this to show them examples of different types of poems.
