Review # 1 was written on 2008-04-22 00:00:00 Kenneth Bloem "Ezra Jack Keats!" I spouted when I opened to January's page. While the rest of Hillenbrand's collage illustrations didn't really look like Keats', the little girl's winter wear on that first page immediately reminded me of his work. So... it's good. This a very simple book for introducing the months of the year to primary grades. Each page features only one sentence or phrase, accompanied by margin-to-margin illustrations. Listen to some of these verbal visuals: "January shivers" (Yes. Yes it does.) "March blows off the winter ice" (mm-hmm) "November is the fireplace" (exactly) Great images! This one belongs in every Pre-K and Kindergarten classroom.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-01-16 00:00:00 Frank Gladden I wanted to share this wonderful and brief poetry by Myra Cohn Livingston before January ends. We have begun the year and this is a lovely picture book that celebrates all the months. Will Hillenbrand fills the pages with one highlight of the month, like a box kite in March, picnics in July.
