Two children energetically explore the four seasons by running after fireflies, jumping in leaves, whizzing across frozen ponds, and splashing in a spring-flooded creek amid bobbing bluebells. The sense-rich text is complemented by the subtle, textured watercolor paintings showing the children celebrating the outdoors and, on the last page, coming in from the rain for cookies and cocoa.
