Each chapter is about a day's adventure of one of the animals (Weasel, Sierra Grouse, Chickaree, Black Bear, Lizard, Coyote, Deer Mouse, Stellar Jay & Mule Deer)on the rock and surrounding forests and meadows. Sally Carrighar compresses her observations into one day and weaves a fine tale of the hunts, escapes, games and imagined thoughts of each animal.

This book, written from the point of view of each of a series of animals living around Beetle Rock, follows the web of life and illustrates the beauty of the natural world. This is a book for anyone seeking to understand the natural world, and anyone who truly loves animals.

The book "The Twilight Seas" by Sally Carrigher was a terrific book. It was a very descriptive book. I really liked it. It is aboout a baby whale and the first crucial moments of his life. It is also about the migration routes and how careful the whale had to be when people were allowed to hunt them. I recommended this book to any person young (no younger than about 10) or old that really enjoys learning about animals and how they live. But it did have some unexcting points. Some times it was on a subject too long and it lost my interest sometimes. It used very advanced vocabulary that I didn't understand.
