Editorial Reviews

It's Spring and It's Summer by Jimmy Pickering complete the author's cycle of seasons books, starring Sally and her dog, Sam. In the first, "Sally and Sam see that something is strange:/ The snow-covered landscape's beginning to change." Retro graphics simulate a collage treatment, with textured lavender skies and two-toned tulips and daffodils sprouting up from the spot illustrations and full-bleed compositions. Sunflower and vegetable gardens overtake the artwork in Summer. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

PreS-Gr 2-In these rhyming stories, Sally and her dog Sam enjoy seasonal treats and activities. ("Now some think that rain/Means you must stay indoors,/But Sally and Sam think/It's fun when it pours"). Spring brings seeds to plant, snow-cone treats, chirping whippoorwills, and cloud gazing, while summer offers sunflowers, water sports, lemonade, and shooting stars. Each glossy spread has colorful, computer-generated cartoon illustrations that match the exuberance of the text. The large-print fonts change color and size throughout both books. Additional titles for storytime or independent reading.-Doris Losey, Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library, Tampa, FL Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
