Check out my review at: http://www.shannonsbookbag.blogspot.com/2012/06/various-childrens-books-various-... ( )

This is an older novel about a girl figuring out that no matter how bad something may seem, life continues to go on, and things will get better again. This story introduces the cycle of seasons and holidays and how one can come to a happy realization that things are continuously rotating. This is a great read for any age but mostly children between the ages of 5-7.

My mom used to read this to me when I was really young. She might have liked it even more than I did. Of course since this was before I could read, I never realized that Garth Williams the illustrator for Laura Ingalls Wilder's and E.B. White's books did these too. ( )

I loved the pictures in this book. The words were very descriptive and any child could relate to this book. This book was about a little girl that was too young to know about all the days of the week, the months of the year, and the seasons and holidays throughout. I would love to use this book in my future classroom because all children go through this and just as this little girls mother walked her through all the seasons day by day and the holidays, as teachers we have to do this with our students as well.

Once there was a little girl who didn't understand days of the week, months of the year, or seasons. However she would remember bits and pieces about what was suppose to happen. Her mother helped her to remember what holiday was coming up next, even after all the holidays had passed there was still something missing. The little girls birthday!
