One of two titles which begin a series of stories about animals in different habitats. Though presented as fiction, the situations and events are based on the behaviour of real animals and have been carefullv checked for biological accuracy. This book contains 18 individual stories which follow the meadow habitat through the seasons, from spring to winter. Mammals, birds, reptiles and insects are all included and there are stories that take place at night as well as during the day. The animals are not given human thoughts and emotions - but it is impossible not to identify with the characters the authors have skilfully created. The stories are full of information about animal behaviour and the grassland environment but they are primarily intended to be enjoyable and entertaining.
