Review # 1 was written on 2013-02-10 00:00:00 Jay Posada This book begins with May when it is still cold in the Northwoods and continues through December.  It is the story of how summer days in the north are savored and appreciated as the people prepare for winter.  Many children have thoughts like these, but more to enjoy summer days in preparation for school days, and so they will relate to the sentence:  "Summer is the time . . . to collect lots of warm memories to make it through the long, cold winter."  Surely people everywhere there are cold winters who can understand such thoughts.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-12-01 00:00:00 Kentrell Smith I snagged this lovely book at a thrift shop last week and what a happy find. We live in rural MN and can easily relate to most of the book. Often these sort of informational counting books are dry and after one read you feel done with them, but I will happily read this book any time my son wants. This would be a great book for any child living in or dreaming of a northern land and a great book to keep at the cabin.
