Phillis Gershator's rhythmic verse and Alison Jay's intricate images come together beautifully to celebrate the sounds of the seasons, from summer to autumn, and winter to spring. The lyrical, rhyming text engages the reader and keeps the pages turning! Hide-and-seek section at the end of the text helps children learn what is happening in nature each season.

Reviews
