Twelve Days of Summer: A Wildlife Exploration

This companion to Twelve Days of Winter is another book to read or sing along with children. In this reimagined version of ＂The Twelve Days of Christmas,＂ wildlife is observed during summer. The animals enjoy warmer weather, blooming flowers, and sunny days. Summer is also a busy time for animal parents who are wrangling their little ones. ＂On the first day of summer we looked around to see a black bear in an oak tree.＂
Can you find a curious chipmunk watching other animals enjoying the summer?
