Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
A mother and daughter spend time together exploring nature and enjoying seasonal activities. In spring, they “wade in a puddle/ that's not very deep,/ pretending we're frogs,/ croaking loud as we leap.” During the summer, they sit on the porch watching the rain; in autumn, they harvest apples, and in winter, go ice skating: “the pond's frozen over,/ it's slippery-slick./ Hug me and twirl/ in a slow spinning trick.” Endpapers show images of mother and daughter, framed as though they were snapshots. The graceful, pastel artwork and soothing writing beget a breezy message about motherly love. Ages 3-6. (Apr.)
School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 1—A woman invites her daughter to "share nature's wonders" throughout the year. In spring they "wade in a puddle/that's not very deep,/pretending we're frogs,/croaking loud as we leap." When gardens are in summertime bloom, mother and child "sniff, one by one,/the blossoms that burst/in the warmth of the sun." They pick apples together in the fall and make snow angels in the winter. Kemly's bucolic pastel illustrations warmly showcase the close relationship. Some scenes also appear as framed photographs on the endpapers. A sweetly sentimental offering.—Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canada

Kirkus Reviews
From spring through winter a mother celebrates her bond with her daughter in syrupy, limping doggerel. "Listen with me / to the happiest birds / calling, ‘Good morning!' / with chirp-chirping words." The verse marches along in lockstep, forcing unnatural stresses to maintain scansion. While there is the occasional fresh image-"Feel summer showers / fall cool on our toes, / before running off / to wherever rain goes"-the text is only distinguished by its appeal to the maudlin. Kemly's soft pastels largely reflect the text's aesthetic, but she adds a small black-and-white dog to most double-page spreads, which provides continuity and a bit of fun. There's no question this mother-daughter pair is enjoying each other's company, but this is far from the only book with such a portrayal. (Picture book. 3-5)
