'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.'

Nice book for toddlers
I love this series of books by Gerda Muller. We have all four seasons, and Autumn is currently my son's favourite (he's 22 months old). We started at around 18 months and I was "reading" them to him. Now that he's a bit older and already does some talking, he sometimes "reads" it to me or to himself. I don't know about older kids, but I definitely recommend this book to toddlers.P.S. I was surprised to see reviews dissatisfied with "no Halloween references" in this Autumn book. For all the others expecting that - yes, there's nothing about Halloween there, because the author Gerda Muller is from Netherlands, and unlike the US, the tradition of Halloween isn't widely celebrated in most of Europe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book illustrating some of the lovely things to enjoy in the Autumn season.
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2015

We purchased this book as a beautiful seasonal tool towards our Montessori/Waldorf influenced homeschooling that we are going to begin this year with our daughter. It is beautifully illustrated with portrayals of simple autumn scenes and activities such as collecting acorns, making things like pinwheels, sculptures and kites out of different materials from the home and from nature, walking in the rain, helping to cook with a parent, etc. There is no storyline, which makes it a great tool for building language skills such as using descriptive words, making inferences and general storytelling. I am really looking forward to introducing it to my daughter this fall and referencing it as we cook together, make sculptures, and collect acorns ourselves! It fits well with Waldorf and Montessori because of these things, but as it doesn't focus on any types of holidays, it can work well in homes of any religious or non-religious background, while some other books that are recommended for Waldorf schooling get complaints for being too Christian or too Pagan by different people. That being said, it is just a lovely book in general, and would be enjoyed by families doing any type of schooling (home/public/private) in any educational philosophy. I plan on purchasing the other books in the series for the next winter, spring, and summer seasons.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, developmentally appropriate books
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2020

This book set is beautiful and enjoyable for many ages, but it’s especially nice that toddlers can enjoy the lovely illustrations without words to distract them. And they also have lots of chances to practice vocabulary and language development through the real-life, family images. I first learned about these books through our children’s AMI Montessori school and later had them in my Catechesis of the Good Shepherd atrium. The Seasons book that has all these illustrations in one book with a story is also beautiful and is well suited to the 3-6 year old, but is so lovely it can be enjoyed by older children and adults, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for multilingual kids
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2011
Verified Purchase
My son is being raised trilingual (my husband and I speak different languages, in addition to English). One of my biggest problems was reading books to my son - most books that he has are in English. I often would have to switch languages on him, when he'd bring me a book to read. These books, however, have no text, and the situations that they describe are universal - hence, perfect for multilingual kids. I can talk about the scenes in whatever language I am talking to the child at the time, and am also able to present the same set of words in different languages.

The pictures are very detailed and realistic. There's also a nice progression in each season depicted. For e.g, autumn starts with children harvesting apples and chestnuts, autumn showers, and then family time indoors and outdoors, making preserves, etc.

There is no text in this book, just beautiful illustrations. I bought all four of the season books, and theses are by far my one year old’s favorite books. He loves to point at things in the books and for me to tell him about them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, given how good the other three books are
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2017
Verified Purchase
I love the books in this series. We have all 4 seasons. They are all very beautiful and very thoughtfully done, with a wide range of activities and visuals depicting each season. I bought "Autumn" last, after falling in love with the other three, and I have to say... I am disappointed. I don't know if I got a bad print copy, but the cover of my book has very dull and under-saturated colors. Very brown and grey, nothing like the photo on Amazon or the color quality of the other three books in the series. Also, it's a book about fall, and there's not a single pumpkin in it! No reference to Halloween either, or to Thanksgiving for that matter. The Winter book clearly shows Christmas, so it's not like they're against showing specific holidays... Is it some kind of puritan ultra-religious thing where they're against Halloween because it's "pagan"? That would just be stupid, and would automatically kill my love of the books (and potentially banish them to the trash bin). My daughter was very disappointed at the lack of pumpkins and Halloween references in it. They are an essential part of the fall experience to a little kid.

Lovely little book. Children ages 4 and under can enjoy the detailed pictures in this book. There are no words which is perfect because it really lets you make up a little story if you wish. Artwork is wonderful, I will be using it on our seasonal nature table.

No words, just beautifully painted and carefully crafted illustrations that invite you to get creative and storytell. Therefore is great for babies as is for older kids. Each page shares a seasonal scene or two we talk about or play "I spy".
