From School Library Journal
Grade 2 Up-- Twenty-eight poems for children--by both classical and contemporary poets--are arranged by season in this uneven volume. Some of the verses and their writers are unfamiliar; those who are well known are readily available in other collections. As a whole, the volume is visually appealing, but closer inspection reveals a hodgepodge of both style and presentation. Lemieux's acrylic paintings range in intensity from misty pale to dazzlingly bright, in size from full double-page spreads to small vignettes. They vary in style from lovely naturescapes to cute, anthropomorphic animals that are dear, humorous, lovely, or bizarre. Many of the paintings are not representative of the poems they illustrate. There are a number of attractive, well-written books of seasonal poetry currently in print. Myra Cohn Livingston's A Circle of Seasons (Holiday, 1982), Jane Yolen's Ring of Earth: A Child's Book of Seasons (HBJ, 1986), and Lillian Moore's Something New Begins (Atheneum, 1982) are better choices. --Susan Scheps, Shaker Heights Public Library, OH
