Review:

"Two siblings enjoy a year of seasons in this poetic concept book full of detailed digital paintings."Goodbye, winter / Hello, spring!" A brown-haired sister and her spectacled younger brother, both nature lovers, say goodbye to each season as they move into the next one. Inventive rhymes correspond with the seasons, with a few phrases for each. Various familiar activities--eating ice cream, going to the beach, trick or treating, and sledding, among them--help highlight each season. The innovative rhymes and the clear flow of one period into the next make the concept of seasonal change easy for young readers to grasp.With action-packed illustrations and a repeating refrain, this nature tale is sure to become a favorite read-aloud in preschool classrooms."  - Kirkus Review
