Content
In the spring, children make Easter nests and paint eggs in preschool. With their teacher they start a small garden, and they celebrate Easter at home with their families. In summer there is a fun search-and-find scene at a swimming pool and another about getting ready for a vacation. Autumn is time to make something with grandpa, and fly kites in the park. In winter children sled in the snow and put on a holiday play with their parents at school. A lovely Christmas market scene rounds out the varied images of the seasons. Brief texts and images in a sidebar on each spread encourage independent observation.
About the Series
The "Things to Find" titles playfully convey first factual knowledge. The detailed search-and-find images offer much to discover. The accompanying text always features a search task, prompting children to find the vignettes on the edge of the page in the main image. Labels underneath the search images help name the items.
