Customer Reviews

Wonderful little collection of nature poems, wonderful art.

The poems in this book are very well chosen -- each one is a gem, accessible to children while appealing to adults as well. The artwork is a lovely, whimsical complement to the text. We love this little book and find it to be one worth reading over and over again.

Sweet!

I LOVE Fumi Kosaka's art and illustrations! A style all her own, really appealing and sweet for children.

A PERFECT BLEND OF ART AND POETRY

Whatever the weather the stylized illustrations of Japanese artist Fumi Kosaka will bring enjoyment to all. Each of Kosaka's paintings, created with acrylics and dry brush, accompanies an easily understood poem descriptive of the weather. John Drinkwater's ode to the sun is a happy refrain, while Aileen Fisher's "June!" presents a perfect time to go barefoot. Christina Rossetti's "Clouds" are pictured as white sheep; Margaret Wise Brown pays tribute to autumn when the leaves come tumbling down. This pairing of art and poetry will be returned to again and again.
