Who Lives Under the Log?: the full story
A True Book
A log lies in the woods.
Lift it. Look!
A worm! No eyes, but it feels the light.
It breathes with its skin.
A pill bug! It is not a bug.
It is a cousin of the crab.
It eats old, rotting plants.
A ground beetle! It hunts at night.
It eats slugs and worms.
A red-backed salamander! It has no lungs.
It breathes with its skin, too.
It eats worms and snails.
It must stay damp.
It is cool, dark, and damp. A good home.
Put the log back. Now they are home.
