Set against the backdrop of a magnificent apple tree, this book uses poetry to cycle through the changes of the four seasons. Beginning with springtime, rhyming couplets take young readers through seasonal activities such as kite flying in the spring, summertime picnicking, fall trick-or-treating, all the way to building snowmen in the winter, before cycling back to spring again. One verse in each season references a major holiday, including Easter and Christmas.

Four Seasons of Fun: Egg Hunts! Fireworks! Pumpkins! Reindeer! Reviews

  • Trisha Carter

    Beautiful illustrations! This book is a celebration of the changing of the seasons and joy we get to look forward to each year as they come and go. Also, rhymes all the way through.

  • Deanna

    Cute, perfect for K or pre school and 1 st grade.

  • Rose Rosetree

    A sweetish, fantasy-like view of each season.

    I really enjoyed the delicate illustrations by Sylvie Diagneault. And I did appreciate the attempt she made at some ethnic diversity, an attempt which was curiously lacking in children with family from any part of South or East Asia; or any children from Mexico or countries farther south.

    As for the rest, regarding how to make the seasons seem vivid, the choices weren't so much to my taste. Heck, I'm a native New Yorker. I grew up without listening for "the patter of bunny feet," etc. (Still haven't heard those adorable feet yet, actually.)

    Even when living for the past 30 years in Northern Virginia suburbs, I've still never seen a blossoming tree like the surreally fabulous fruit tree here, the one that's supposed to represent summer.

    So I'm kind of curious. Where are Edwards' typical readers are supposed to live? Seasons on earth, these I know. These idealized, soft-edged neighborhoods? Not so much.

  • Anthony

    A look at the four seasons, and how the change of each brings with it joyous times both indoors and outside. Told in poetic rhyme, a fun and charming look at the cycles from Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and back to Spring again.

  • Barbara Arnold

    Rhyming book.
    Great illustrations
