The Seasons Sewn, June 20, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Seasons Sewn: A Year in Patchwork (Hardcover)
This is an unusually handsome children's book with exquisite illustrations depicting life in the nineteenth century throughout the four seasons.
The author does a very good job in describing the trials, traditions and events of this time period while explaining the origins of 24 different quilt block patterns. It is a beautiful and informative book.
I would have to disagree with the rating of this book at a reading level of ages 4-8. It would indeed be a precocious 4 year old that would be able to sit and listen to this book much less read it themselves. It does not have a "story book" kind of story line but is full of interesting information and stunning illustrations for 2nd through 4th graders.
