About
Takes readers on a magical journey, exploring the science behind the seasons, examining how seasons affect the world around them, recounting season-related myths and legends, and suggesting ways to enjoy each of the seasons.
In Vicky Woodgate's follow-up title to The Magic of Sleep, children learn everything there is to know about the seasons. How do we measure a season? Why do we divide our years up and when did we start doing this? Are seasons the same for everyone? How do they work? All these questions and many more are covered in The Magic of Seasons, a practical guide to everything there is to know about the way we measure changes in weather, ecology, and daylight hours and how it affects us and the world around us.
