    Winter is a
    pretty sight.
    Everything turns
    snowy white.
    There are many
    things to do.
    Sledding, skating,
    snowmen, too.

    In the spring,
    the flowers bloom.
    Birds all chirp
    outside your room.
    Rain washes
    the whole world clean,
    as it makes the
    trees grow green.

    Then comes fall.
    The crisp, cool breeze
    blows the leaves
    down off the trees.
    One more year is
    nearly done.
    Almost time for

    How do animals live in
    cold weather?
    Some animals move to a
    warmer place. They migrate when
    it gets too cold. Monarch butterflies
    migrate. Many birds migrate, too.
    Other animals stay in the cold.
    For example, penguins live in
    Antarctica. It is cold there all year.
    They stand close to each other to
    stay warm.
    Other animals go into
    a very deep sleep. This
    is called hibernation. For
    example, some kinds of
    bears hibernate. They stay
    in their dens. They don’t
    come out until spring.

    How do animals live
    in hot weather?
    Some animals live in the
    desert. It is very hot and dry.
    How do desert animals get
    enough water?
    When camels drink
    water, they drink a lot. They
    can drink more than 100 liters
    of water in fifteen minutes!
    Another desert animal is
    the thorny devil. This lizard
    lives in the Australian desert.
    There isn’t much water, so the
    lizard absorbs rain through
    its skin!

    How do animals live in
    rainy weather?
    Some animals live in
    the rainforest. It is hot and
    wet. How do animals stay
    dry if they do not have a
    raincoat or an umbrella?
    Some animals, like
    orangutans, make their own
    umbrellas. They use leaves!
    Reptiles, like snakes,
    have scales. The scales are
    waterproof. They do not let
    the water in.
    In summary, animals
    have many ways to live
    in their environment—no
    matter what the weather
    is like!
