From Publishers Weekly:
A British import depicts one year in the life of a rather average middle-class family. Johnny and Jinny are twins; Mo is their younger sister. In the winter the family goes sledding and builds snowpeople; in the spring they fly kites and pick flowers. Summer brings camping trips and forays to the beach; autumn means apple-picking and trick-or-treating. "That is how we spent our year. How did you spend yours?" A predictable and homey account of a family's year, this is best for smaller children, who relish this kind of quotidian detail. The watercolors eloquently portray the passing of time in shifting landscapes and colors. But the targeted age group probably will crave more challenging fare. Ages 4-7.

Kindergarten-Grade 2 Johnny, his twin sister Jinny, and little sister Mo are followed through the year in this British import. The story is a simple, straightforward account of the children's activities during the various seasons. A strong family theme is nicely woven in. How ever, the illustrations, done in scratchy ink line and watercolor wash composition, lack vivacity and vitali ty. Better titles about the seasons are Betsy Maestro's Through the Year with Harriet (Crown, 1985), Hannah Solomon's Mouse Days (Pantheon, 1981), and Charlotte Zolotow's Over and Over (Harper, 1987).
