As the critters (from Adventures with Barefoot Critters) count from one to twelve over the course of the day, each subsequent number brings with it a new friend and a new activity. Clever pairs of rhyming couplets also connect one number to the next. The charming, detailed illustrations have a coherent muted color scheme and old-fashioned vibe.

PS
"We make messes with mud / when it rains in July. / But we take nice long naps / in the grass once it's dry." Double-spread rhyming vignettes incorporate words beginning with each letter. By using natural sentence structure to describe months of the year, the result is an organic-feeling alphabet/seasons book. Playful, old-timey illustrations in earth tones depict animals frolicking in nature.
