Four mini-poems (Winter Questions; Spring Feelings; Summer Wishes; and Fall Thoughts) capture the seasonal musings of the young narrator, who describes listening to the “hushushush” of the falling snow in winter and the joy of being together in summer (“What a pleasure! What a treasure!”). The lively rhymes and subdued gouache and acrylic illustrations make for an engaging read-aloud -- any time of year.
