Very simple text accompanies paintings of the seasons changing from winter (bare trees, shadows of crows, snowmen, prints) to spring (a groundhog popping up, a fox leaping) and finally summer, though a mountain in the distance keeps "winter's hat."

Illustrations are acrylic paint on canvas.- ( )

What do you see in a snow scene? What comes after the snow is gone? Follow two children and some familiar animals as they explore winter into spring.
The author uses simple, rhyming, poetic text to take the reader on a journey through winter and spring. This book would make a good read aloud for children ages 0-3. The illustrations allow the children to talk more about what is taking place in the story. The rhyming text fosters phonological awareness. ( )
