Nayu's thoughts 

This is an extremely clever way of examining seasons. Each double page spread looks at the same tree and the same woods as the seasons change. Not only that, there are holes cut in the pages so animals can be seen scampering about the trees, decreasing in number during certain seasons. The illustrations are cute and fairly detailed , which encourages the reader to think about how seasons change where they live, and to find the smaller details which at first glance may be missed but which can be significant parts of a season. The colours are pleasing, and the expressions on the animals' faces made me smile.
