Goodreads

The eye-catching cover invites young readers to join the turtle family as they walk, “nice and slow” through the seasons with youngsters always asking, “Are we there yet?”, ending in winter with a FAST slide down a snow-covered hill, ending back at their own cave. 

Repetition and rhyming sentences lend to listeners predicting the next word. Watercolor artwork are simple but encourage the eye to linger.

Could be used to show the cycle of the four seasons and invite readers outdoors to explore and compare nature in all seasons. Great for one-on-one or group sharing.
