(3) K-3 Illustrated by Susan Tooke. "January brings / the Wolf Moon, / the wild Wolf Moon." Taking her titles from traditional names for full moons, including "Snow Moon" for February and March's "Sap Moon," Taylor offers a brief, evocative description of each month. Tooke's equally evocative illustrations, with their attractive borders, show a northern farm family working and playing throughout the year. The final pages give more information about full moons.
