This is one of a series of four books without text, which lead the young child through the seasons of the year. Full of fun, active illustrations, this chunky board book shows the joys of shovelling snow, ice-skating, feeding the birds, and being cosy inside with the Christmas tree.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
'The illustrations are packed with detail and give you lots to talk about. The book was equally enjoyed by babies and older children and has more to offer than the average board book.' -- Hilary with Isaac (age 5) and Finty (6 months), Education Otherwise, December 2005 'This set of four picture books are a lovely way to inspire creativity and imagination in your little one. Each book contains its own season packed full of detailed drawings ... The most wonderful thing about these books is that the story is always different, there are always new things to discover and new stories to tell. If you are looking for some creative ways to introduce the Seasons to your kids or even just hoping to get some picture books, this set is a definite must.' -- Baby Let's Shop.com

The Perfect Board Book (series),
By meditating mama (Lawrenceville, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Winter Board Book (Board book)
This title is one of four in a series about the seasons. My daughter and I love it because the book gives us a chance to explore the illustrations without being rushed by a worded story. (Obviously, there is no text.) At a year and a half she'll spend twenty minutes turning the pages and studying the pictures by herself. The illustrations are beautiful without being sacchrine and bring a real sense of the season to the reader. As a parent, I applaud this because it gives me a starting point to talk about the upcoming season and the cycles of the year. I would highly recommend these books!

This review is from: Winter Board Book (Board book)
Gerda Muller's lovely--and wordless--book "Winter" (together with "Spring,"
"Summer," and "Fall") is a cozy share-time each time my two-year-old daughter and I crack the cover. It's about ambiance, really, and imagination. We just tell the story of the pictures, each time a little differently. My daughter's never bored. I'm never bored! Every parent of a pre-school child would benefit from this delicious little quintet of books.

This review is from: Winter Board Book (Board book)
This series of seasons books by Gerda Muller were highly recommended by other parents. I can't be happier with them. There are no words/plot, just engaging scenes of children doing seasonal activities. My two year old can't get enough of them. The pictures are so active and full of detail that they capture his imagination and he pours over the pictures and talks about what he sees.
This is a wonderful way to introduce seasons to a child.
