I love how these poems flow. Nature poems are some of my favorites, and this really encapsulated all of the seasons. I like that they are titled with different dates.

This collection of poems covers the different seasons. The poems flow from one season to the next. Through the words and illustrations, you are able to see the shifting of the seasons. It uses lots of descriptive language.

This book is illustrated to match the tone of the poems

this book full of poetry also fills you with a calm sweetness. a great introduction to poems and the spring

I thought this book was so cute and I plan to use it in my classroom. The poem I chose is during the winter talking about snow.

Such cute book with different poems that are around different days of the year.

These poems are a collection showing adventure and fun. It goes through all of the seasons so it is good for teaching students about seasons and what each season looks like

“March 20: From a snow-covered tree, a bird singing“ This quote describes a typical cold March day!

Something I like about this book is the fact that it doesn't rhyme, I'd include this in my classroom to make children aware of this.
