Marvel at the northern lights that illuminate the Arctic sky in the winter.

Discover the sweet smells and sounds of the meadows in springtime, when the flowers and trees begin to bud and birds fill the skies. Altogether, this is a beautiful book, one for lingering over, sharing and learning from.About the Book From the Arctic tundra to the African plains, the changing of the seasons keeps every creature and plant working together in perfect balance. At each stage the layered pictures demonstrate the changes and differences. China’s Yellow Dragon Valley, Kenya’s Maasai Mara Valley and the Northern Australian mangrove forests complete our tour. Then again, we see dazzling Northern Lights in winter and Narwhals beneath the ice. However, we’ve a snapshot through the seasons, with the return of the summer snow geese, for example. We know this through An Arctic Story: The Animals of the Frozen North.

It seems life in the Northern Polar regions is tough. At that time, the migrating red salmon are an eagerly awaited feast for grey wolves and brown bears! Then again, bears must fill up on pine nuts and berries ahead of their winter hibernation. For example, did you know that ‘t he bumblebee queen is the only bumblebee that will survive the winter’? Then again, it seems bats will hibernate in ‘old woodpecker holes’ throughout winter? However, we’ve Alaska to explore also, where there is more light in summer than winter. Furthermore, we read of the life that depends upon this tree and see how lives within it change too. Thereafter, we begin with the might European oak, and see how it changes. Therein, we have a paper cut story of the changes in six different settings. However, Seasons approaches this subject differently.

(Little Tiger Press) Bookwagon loves the seasonal books of Sean Taylor and Alex Morss, which go into great depth about the changes in a year. Altogether, Seasons is a book to share, linger over and learn from. It seems the plains teem with life!īookwagon is fascinated by the wealth of information and then the wonderful paper cut pictures that illustrate the seasons so clearly, deliberately and beautifully. Thereafter, we learn of the dry season’s giant dust clouds, and the swirling water that must be crossed, during the great migration. However there are only two seasons in Kenya’s Maasai Mara- dry or wet. During autumn, giant panda feed in the forests, and might be seen in the valley’s waterfalls! Meanwhile, China’s Yellow Dragon Valley is full of rare creatures throughout the year. It’s a rich source of food for the striated heron. For example, there’s a ‘ fishy feast’ left behind in the bed of wet mud that forms in summer’s northern Australian mangrove creek. What’s more, we read of the creatures and nature that depend upon each setting, and then how each changes too. We travel to six settings to explore a year of seasonal change in Seasons.
