Customer Reviews

great book for toddlers and grade schoolers!

My two kids (2 and 6) love this book about one family that lives in the country going through the seasons. Not only does the book show the changes of the earth during the seasons, but also follows the progress of the mother's pregnancy and ends with the new family member. The pictures are full of great, detailed picutres of wildlife - sure to please your children!

A beautiful book!

This is a wonderful book to help children learn about the months and the seasons. To the criticism of the other reviewer who complained that there are only white people in this book, that is true, but the people are a very small part of this book. The emphasis is on nature, particularly birds, and that reviewer is ignoring a great resource if she refuses to use this book for it's obvious purpose - to teach the months and seasons. If you ignore every book that only has white people, you will cheating children out of some really terrific books. When I think of all the great books I read growing up that only had pictures of white people, I shudder to think that my parents (or librarians!) could have denied me any of them because of color of the people in them.
