From mud pies to mist, from sand castles to snow, this year-round collection of original verse celebrates the out-of-doors with the same joy small children bring to it. "The poems would be worth reading without the artwork, but here it almost steals the show."--Booklist.

About the Author:
Shirley Hughes has illustrated over 200 children's books. Her many awards include the Kate Greenaway Medal for "Dogger" and also the prestigious Eleanor Farjeon Award for her services to children's literature. Shirley Hughes has three grown-up children (one of whom, Clara Vulliamy, is also a children's book author/illustrator) and lives in London.
From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 1 A rosy, fat-cheeked little girl narrates 18 simple poems about the weather and the seasons, describing experiences with mud, blossoms, water, and sand with rhythmic simplicity. While the poems are pleasant and evoke the images a child might have of weather and seasons, it is Hughes' realistic pictures which make this book. Readers not only come to know the seasons through natural data but also come to know the small narrator's family and her world. Children will enjoy watching for the narrator's baby brother, her parents, her cat and dog, and her special toys in the half-page watercolor paintings and the small detailed pictures which surround the text. Seasonal poems are clumped together and set off by a double-page spread which highlights people and their activities in each season. The busy spring pictures, full of people gardening, cleaning, and hanging out of windows to talk and enjoy the weather, evoke the sense of freedom of that season after a long winter. While the poems would work well in preschool story hour sessions on seasons, the detailed pictures cry out for a lap or occasions in which one or several children sit down and pore over the book.
