Four beautiful color-illustrated books introduce an understanding of the year's changing seasons to preschool children. The full-color, full-page-size illustrations are extraordinarily handsome, evoking the moods of each changing season with images that appeal to younger children. The text is easy enough for beginning readers to master -- or parents can read the little stories aloud to entertain preschool children. A two-page section at the end of each book speaks to parents. It suggests additional things they can explain to children about the changing seasons. Books are available in a slipcased four-volume set, or may be purchased individually as Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.
