“Hap-pea January! Let’s get going. Grab your mittens, hooray, it’s snowing!” From the very first page, readers will delight in this perfectly rhymed and beautifully detailed board book.  Each month of the year is illustrated in bold colors with snowmen, umbrellas, wind, and rain detailing each page.  From the tiny bicycles in May to the cute crossing guard in September, readers will find hours of fun looking at and enjoying each month of the year.  The final page represents every season of the year and wishes all readers a “Hap-pea… hap-pea… YEAR!”

Hap-Pea All Year is an exciting board book celebrating not only the months of the year, but also the four seasons.   Hours can be spent simply looking at the detailed and intricate illustrations.  The colors are very bright and exciting.  The wording perfectly represents each month.  We thoroughly enjoyed this board book!
