September is a time for changes. The green leaves on the trees and bushes turn to yellow, red, and gold. The chipmunks, squirrels, and snakes are changing—toads and caterpillars, too. But—have you ever wondered what happens to plants and animals when winter comes? 

Come walking deep in the woods and along the Road of the Seasons with Glenn O. Blough. He will tell you about woodchucks and toads and snakes, about cardinals and blue jays and chickadees, animals that live there all winter long. He will tell you, too, about the robins and bluebirds and monarch butterflies, which migrate in the fall. He will show you where seeds sleep in the earth and tiny buds cover the branches of the trees. He will show you how to read tracks made in the snow by the cottontail rabbit, the fox, and the skunk—and many other exciting things that happen where winters are cold and summers warm.
