Including more than just bugs, this volume celebrates the animals found in a garden throughout the year. The humorous poems describe the plight of a beetle stranded on his back, the progress of a snail race, and a snake, "Sliding softly, here and gone, / A belly with a head stuck on." Detailed illustrations tie the poems together by including characters from one poem in the pictures for another.
