Review
'This is a new mini edition of Elsa Beskow's classic picture book. In wonderful rhyming verse, children can journey through the months ... There are also verses for the hours of the day and the days of the week, all of which are beautifully illustrated. Fun to read either together, or as a group.' -- Creative Steps magazine, Nov/Dec 2008

Customer Reviews

sweet pictures, nice book, a bit old fashioned maybe
I have this book on our seasonal display - which is intended for my children. The pictures are sweet, some of the poems are quite nice, some are a bit odd.It is definately an item I get more pleasure from than the kids, perhaps because you can tell it is an old book and seems a little out-dated? Personally I like it, but I can't see any of my children ever giving it more than a quick glance.
