This is a concept book about the cycle of the four
seasons for young children. A poetic introduction
to the seasons of the year.
Nature displays different colors to announce the
seasons of the year and the time of day.
from Publishers Weekly:
'Mathers's...watercolors shift in palette as well as
imagery. Her compositions encompass the dusky purplish
browns ("brown mud/ brown trees") of early spring
warming to the clear, bright "green/ green/ green" of
summer vegetation; rich, mellow fall tones give way to
winter's "snow white" and "shadows black." She shows
the glowing yellow sun of midsummer, the ripe red
sunset of autumn, the remote moon of the winter sky.
A red house painted in a naf style provides readers
with a steady, year-round point of reference; joyful
children and a goofy dog play under the yard's changing
trees, season permitting. Mathers's illustrations convey
a disarming innocence, making this a book of simple
but deeply gratifying pleasures...' |
