"We makemesses 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.
