(4) K-3 Illustrated by Linda Bleck. In her fourth book about the seasons, Pfeffer first explains how Earth's rotation causes the summer solstice. The text (which continues to be oddly formatted on the pages) then focuses on the ways different cultures celebrate the sun and/or the beginning of summer. Bleck's cheerful illustrations are drenched with lush colors. Appended activities might require adult help. Reading list, websites.
