PreS-Gr 1âThis companion to Tracks in the Snow (2003) and Who Likes Rain? (2007, both Holt) continues the story of an Asian girl's exploration of the seasons. Youngsters will relate to the concrete, sensory images of the simple, rhyming text told in the child's voice. The soft-focus colored-pencil illustrations capture the universal pleasures of summer. A knowing balance is depicted between those activities that the child can independently enjoy (catching butterflies, sipping cool lemonade, listening at her window to the night sounds) and those that require a modicum of parental involvement and reassurance (filling up the splashing pool, playing hide-and-seek after a picnic supper in the park, listening to nocturnal hoots and noises out of doors). The layout varies pleasingly from portraitlike vignettes to spot art surrounded by white space to full-page bleeds, all encased in a small trim size just right for small hands. This understated gem is equally perfect for a storyhour or a cozy bedtime tale that will inspire summertime dreamers.âKathleen Finn, St. Francis Xavier School, Winooski, VT
