Peepers
What's Peepers About
“A good introduction to both New England and the joys of nature.” –Booklist It’s fall again, and time for Jim and Andy to help their dad run Fred’s Fall Color Tours. The tourists they shuttle around are “Leaf Peepers” and, boy, do those Peepers love to ooh and aah about the dumbest things. Leaves, trees, pumpkins. Bo-o-ring. But this year, even as they poke fun at the Peepers, Jim and Andy can’t help but notice how the leaves floating in the river look like a brilliantly colored island, and how the spiky tree branches seem to sweep the clouds across the night sky. Maybe the Peepers aren’t so silly after all.
