“I gave this to my niece and nephew when they came to visit recently; it is a wonderful twist on the traditional counting book. It starts at winter, with no flowers, and then continues through the seasons, ending at 10 with the last flowers of the fall. The illustrations by Haley Vair are outstanding. Two other cool notes: it’s the first book in a new series called ‘The Little Naturalist,’ so if you like it, there will be more on the way! It also focuses on the Pacific Northwest’s regional plants, so it’s a great way to introduce a readily-applicable love of nature to young ones.”
