In the summer, she stalks muskrats in the creek and contemplates wave mechanics; in the fall, she watches a monarch butterfly migration and dreams of Arctic caribou. She tries to con a coot; she collects pond water and examines it under a microscope. She unties a snake skin, witnesses a flood, and plays King of the Meadow with a field of grasshoppers. The result is an exhilarating tale of nature and its seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49341833969968,"sku":"BDirrl","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49341834035504,"sku":"ZEirrl","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49341834101040,"sku":"ZMirrl","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/irrl-Square-cover.jpg?v=1776520024","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-irrl","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
