Editorial Reviews

"...an inviting reading experience for young children, opening their senses to all kinds of wonderful experiences every day."

Midwest Book Review

"Images of the duo blowing dandelion seeds into the wind, stomping in spring puddles, and "shuffling through a thick carpet of autumn leaves" are clear and evocative, and the book may shine most as a prompt for spurring similar creative exercises at home or at school."- Publishers Weekly

"Vibrant colors glow against the white pages in the nicely textured illustrations..."-Booklist, Carolyn Phelan
