Many of us have a book or two from their early childhood that we seek out as adults with memories based on half-remembered (and frequently misremembered) details. This picture book was one of mine, and I just found it! The only particulars I had to work off of were 1) an illustration of an ice-skating boy positioned with his skates perpendicular to one another (incidentally, this gave me the conviction that this is how one skated), and 2) the last page depicted a garden archway covered in flowers.

As for the book itself, it's a joyful look at all the fun things there are to do as the seasons change (assuming you live in a clime with changing seasons). The illustrations are cute, and I'm delighted to have successfully hunted it down, despite it being out of print and not having aged well with respect to diverse representation. ( )

An easy-to-read description of the continuously changing seasons.

I love the Provensons' cheery art style, and this book was one of my favorites as a child. It's a great start to talking about the seasons with kindergartners or other young kids. Just watch out for the kid in summer who looks like he's gotten conked on the head with an apple... ( )

This is a very simple book with minimal descriptions of the seasons and what may one do during that season. Not a book for upper elementary.

A young reader's introduction to the seasons told with cute illustrations.
