Review

This series of books beautifully captures concepts, this time that of the seasons. The photographs are stunning and well-selected and they encapsulate the visual explanation of whichever season is being introduced. The text focuses on using one's senses to feel, see, and hear things related to a particular season, and it mentions things that one can do (i.e. plant seeds and jump in puddles in the spring, go swimming and pick strawberries in the summer, etc.). The vocabulary used is solid, understandable, but not too easy. The images are so vibrant and the pages are large, so this is a great read-aloud for a unit introducing seasons. Another well-crafted book in this Jane Brocket "Clever Concepts" series. Recommend.

Overall Book Score: very good
