A little boy, waiting for summer, repeatedly asks his mother if the season has arrived. "Not yet" is her constant reply, followed by a description of a sign of summer's imminence. Handsome cut-paper images, complemented on each spread by a single color, illustrate her responses as the blossoming spring leads to summer. The simple, patterned tale progresses as naturally as one season does to another.
