I don't get it. I couldn't find any real story (or four?), just some 'notes' towards possible stories.... And the art is lovely in its way, but there are thousands of (tens of thousands, hundreds of...?) images published online by unknown artists that are also gorgeous and evocative and 'worth a thousand words.' Autumn looked particularly creepy to me with that long line of ppl just looming; dunno what that was about.

Anyway, I probably would have gotten more out of it if I'd read the note at show more the end first, if I'd known what 'terms' to 'meet' the art on.

Not for those of us who have difficulty appreciating wordless books or graphic novels, or who have expectations of the setting (art fits better in galleries...).

Very pretty. I think its a good fit for adults as well as children. There are very few words, just a few verses to introduce each season. Imagery is gorgeous.
Maybe the most beautiful picture book I've ever read. I would kill to be able to watercolor like this!
