Review
This is the first U.S. edition of a book first published in Great Britain in 1988. The collection is arranged into the four seasons of the year and it highlights what small children may find in each season when they are out and about. The pen and ink drawings are unmistakably Shirley Hughes. In an author's note Hughes says that for her, words and pictures go together. They do so here harmoniously and create a delightful first book of poems for three to five year olds. Recommended and what a great gift book it makes too!
Overall Book Score: excellent
