[Gabe Clark · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was an amazing read. The way it depicted the natural world with stunning visuals and a very appealing story makes it so captivating to read. I loved the way this book showed the seasons and the differences in how we view each part of the natural world. The visuals are what really made this book but the addition of a fun animal group makes it just that little bit more amazing. I think that this book is one that everyone should have in their library because of it's fun and captivating illustrations.

The bear, deer and fox don't want to leave their homes when the rabbit tells them something is going to happen. He was right and the sun comes and brings the summer to the area and all are happy. Pictures are colorful and good woodcuts.
