The Living Year

by Anne Marie Jauss (Illustrator), Richard Headstrom

A month by month account of the pageant of nature that can be observed outside your door, all through the year from snowfall in January to hibernation in December. The highlights of each month are recounted, along with background information about the particular insects, birds, trees, flowers, mammals, reptiles, invertebrates, or fish that are featured. Each chapter concludes with a list of natural events to watch for during that month. A great book to read slowly over the course of a year.

I read this aloud to my fourth grader over the last 12 months and we really enjoyed it.
