Text and photographs describe less-than-pleasant and unexpected habitats and the animals that live in them, focusing on dead trees and forest floors, and discussing ants, worms, termites, millipedes, centipedes, pill bugs, and beetles.
Illustrations and rhyming text follow the life cycle of a tree after a storm causes it to fall, and shows, as it rots, the collection of animals and insects that make it their home.
