This pleasant picture book highlights activities that children enjoy as the seasons cycle through the year. . . . Isadora's illustrations, rendered in fine ink lines with bright watercolor washes, have a fresh, airy quality and a cheerful tone. A good book for starting discussions about the seasons and sharing with young children at any time of year. --Booklist
