"[An] appealing Spanish-English picture book focused on seasonal words . . . Simple, effective, and charming."--Publishers Weekly "The soft-edged pastel illustrations make a nice counterbalance to the minimal, bilingual text by filling each page with details that capture the essence of each season. . . . Simple, sweet, and just right for readers looking for an early bilingual book."--Kirkus Reviews
