From pigeons and jumping spiders to swamp milkweed and maple trees, these two explorers get to know every part of their local environment. But after an accidental move from the country to the city, Mole and Vole worry that everything will be different. As they explore, they discover plants to look at and animals to meet in their new home as well.
 
The story of these two best friends brings to life a nonfiction adventure of finding wonder in nature everywhere—no matter where you live. This book concludes with fun activities for kids to do at home.
