Children's ✦ Penny’s Take

Skip Through the Seasons

Stella Blackstone · 2018
83/100
👍 Worth It

Blackstone and Carluccio have made a picture book that earns its keep on two levels at once — as a rhyming read-aloud and as a seek-and-find activity that rewards repeated visits. The back matter on month names, calendar history, and multilingual day names is unexpectedly rich for a toddler book. School Library Journal's praise is well earned.
