Features: Explains the changing seasons, their effects on plants, animals, and humans, and a variety of seasonal festivals.

A truly comprehensive and global guide, this book studies the seasons across both hemispheres, investigates dry and monsoon seasons, and explains why some parts of the earth do not experience seasonal changes at all. Young readers can even find out about seasons on other planets. A reference section at the back of the book includes an index and a calendar of holidays, festivals, and weather conditions.
