BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

Through the seasons, what will you do and do you need to wear a coat while you’re doing it?

Of course the book is best understood by children in places with four seasons.  But the cute illustrations combine with simple, understandable text is fun to read and read together. Even if your school doesn’t have four distinct seasons, it would be fun to contrast their lives each season with those of the children on the pages. I only rate it ADVISABLE, because I’m not sure if you have enough season books already.
