“While you are sleeping and when you arise, animals everywhere lead busy
lives. Winter or summer, and all the year through, let’s take a look at
what some of them do.” Eagles fish for breakfast, bats eat mouthfuls of
mosquitoes, squirrels busily gather acorns, and cougars quietly prowl
through snow. Diane’s delightful rhyming verses depict the diverse lives
of two animals for each month of the year—one animal that’s active
during the day and another active at night, for a total of 24
fascinating critters. Andrea gives her water color paintings a stylized
flair by employing her own unique digital technique. Additional
information and activity suggestions give kids, parents, and teachers
ways to explore more about daily rhythms and yearly cycles
