K-3Sandcastle: Signs of the Seasons series.
Each volume begins with the same spread introducing the concept of seasons, then explains features of the titular season in dull text. Though brief, the books contain words (hibernation, migrating) that may challenge young children reading without adult assistance. Crisp but generic photos of nature scenes and kids engaging in seasonal activities illustrate concepts. Quizzes help readers digest information. Glos. Review covers these Signs of the Season titles: Signs of Autumn, Signs of Spring, Signs of Summer, and Signs of Winter.
