SILLY LILLY AND THE FOUR SEASONS is a cute little book that follows Lilly through the seasons.
The book begins with Spring and Lilly going to the park where she plays with her teddy bear. The text talks about how she likes to dance, jump, nap and play.
Summer has Lilly at the beach. She's standing in the water and noting the creatures around her. As you can see from the sample pages below there's some humor in the story. In this case, one of the little shells proves to be inhabited.
Fall finds Lilly appreciating a basket of apples. She points out that they come in different colors, and then she eats one.
And children will find Lilly busy in Winter snow. Her teddy bear is back and the target of snowballs. And it's actually pretty humorous as the bear's expression changes from one scene to another. First happy. Then sort of annoyed.

To complete the cycle, Lilly is back at Spring, swinging at the park. I think this helps children to grasp the cyclical rotation of the seasons.
SILLY LILLY AND THE FOUR SEASONS is a very nice practice reader for young children. The text is still large, but the format is different --like a comic-- which I think is a nice change of pace for kids. Besides practicing reading, children will get some reinforcement of what they know about the four seasons. There's no heavy science, but Lilly is shown in season appropriate garb doing seasonally appropriate activities. So that is nice.
