| Publisher Description: This gorgeous photographic concept book is perfect for sharing in the home or classroom--readers will feel the summer heat on the pavement while exploring introductory concepts of seasons, weather, and sensations. No kid can resist a hot summer day filled with delights such as drawing chalk pictures on the pavement and playing on a swing...especially if the day is capped off with two grape popsicles plus a cooling rainstorm. A wonderful concept book, grounded in ordinary events yet touched with magic, that will strike a familiar chord with preschool audiences while enlarging their perceptions. (Horn Book) Using collage, Crews translates the mental images of her own hot childhood sum-mers into a sensorial feast for preschoolers. 'It's summer. and it's hot, ' the book begins, 'Dogs pant. Hydrants are open. Women carry umbrellas for the shade.' (Booklist) |
