"There is a lovely economy to the watercolor illustrations, with bold black outlines partially filled in and punctuated with warm sweeps and dabs of color. The images capture the warmth of family life and the richness of seasons shared in outdoor play with friends."
—Kirkus Reviews

"Introduce little ones to the wonders of each season with daily romps through mud, sand, grass, or snow. Lighthearted rhymes encourage the use of all five senses while exploring nature in the backyard and beyond. With splashes of color and rosy cheeks, boys and girls listen to singing birds, splash in muddy puddles, and adventure with friends and family, losing a shoe here and there until snuggling into bed at night."
—Foreword Reviews

"Agell’s illustrations rollick as much as the prose. They invite kids to see, smell, touch, listen to and explore the exciting, changing natural world, depicted in Agell’s trademark bright Scandinavian colors, by swirling and swinging, spinning, dancing, flying and singing along with the main character. This is an active, joyful and sturdy board book that should accompany many outdoor adventures, whatever the season."
