REVIEW
This is a lovely mixed media look at the twelve months of the year. Each two-page spreads depicts, in beautifully shaded paint and collage illustrations, a scene particular to each month. Accompanying these images are short sentences of about two to five words each, such as "January shivers," "September whistles by," and "November is the fireplace". Most pictures contain a smiling child engaged in an activity. The exclusion of Santa Claus from December would have broadened the appeal of this book, yet this does not detract from this collection of absorbing images and succinct yet descriptive text. This is likely to be hit with 1 and 2 year-olds.
