Up in the Garden and Down in the Dirt — Kate Messner

In this exuberant and lyrical follow-up to the award-winning Over and Under the Snow , discover the wonders that lie hidden between stalks, under the shade of leaves ... and down in the dirt. Explore the hidden world and many lives of a garden through the course of a year! Up in the garden, the world is full of green -- leaves and sprouts, growing vegetables, ripening fruit. But down in the dirt exists a busy world -- earthworms dig, snakes hunt, skunks burrow -- populated by all the animals that make a garden their home.
