Editorial Reviews
"As the author moves from one season to the next, beginning with the yellow leaves of autumn, he reminds readers of the changes that happen consistently year after year. The children, shown in realistic illustrations filled with details, are observant of their surroundings. The changes may be big or small; all are worthy of notice. These kids feel the same as most of us are feeling right now with the promise of spring. Bring it on!"
