As winter comes, work on the farm slows down. Beds of strawberries and rows of spinach are covered in a blanket of hay. Raspberry plants are trimmed down to spur new growth in the spring. Tractors are put away in the barn so they don't rust. As the author tells how something on the farm is being prepared for winter, so too does she tell of its highlighted season--surrounding bee hives with hay bales for the winter is compared to harvesting honey in September. 
 Good for preschool storytimes.
