Whose Footprints Are These? - by Gerda Muller (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Children will love following footprints (and pawprints!) to discover snowy adventures in this charming wordless picture book from a USBBY-honored illustrator.

On a snowy winter's morning, footprints trace a path from an unmade bed, past discarded clothes and breakfast dishes to the front door where they're joined by excited pawprints. But who is making the footprints and what are they doing?

Children and grown-ups will enjoy poring over the detailed, playful, vintage illustrations in this unique wordless picture book, finding clues to reveal the story of a winter's day.
