"I’ve been reading this with the kids. It makes me sad that kids don’t learn to recite poetry at primary school like I did when I was a child in Scotland. I wonder if it still happens there - the Burns, Blake and Stevenson?? Of course this book was not made with this hemisphere in mind, so we are following the seasons in another land and we are totally ok with that!" — 4 hours, 38 min ago
