Plants aren’t the only living thing that undergoes a transformation in winter. Animals adjust to the colder months with some unusual habits like growing more fur, storing food underground or just taking a long winter’s nap and sleeping through the whole season! This issue focuses on our slumbering furry friends who hibernate—or sleep—for months at a time. Young readers will learn why and how animals do this. Punxsutawney Phil—the center attraction of Groundhog Day—will share his legend that makes February 2nd an annual and fun tradition in Pennsylvania!

- learn about animal adaptation
