Seasons is an evocative picture book that takes young readers on a sensory turn around the earth, beginning and ending with spring. Depicting how each season feels through its weather, its colors, its unique pleasures, Seasons is a joy to read.

With a few well-chosen words and his inimitable, playful illustrations, John Burningham distills the essences of spring, summer, fall, and winter. First printed in the UK in 1969 and published now in the US for the first time, this classic read-aloud by the award-winning Burningham conveys with wonderful simplicity the anticipation and pleasure of each season.

Praise

Burningham is very good at weather. Here, he mixes media to evoke the haze of a summer day over the emerald countryside as a boatful of happy holidaymakers have fun. A combination of crayons, charcoal, watercolour, cellulose paints, and soft, rubbed pastels create a luminous sheen and a host of multitextured effects.
