Description Eric Carle meets Chicken Soup with Rice in this joyful dance through the year one month at a time, sure to whirl young readers right along with it. Time never passed so happily! From sledding and snowman-crafting in January to the New Year's countdown in December, childlike drawings and jolly text describe each month of the year with all the fun that each one promises. This book works like a song: each month is a new verse, and readers transition into each new season by a chorus with a recurring refrain, which is riffed on throughout the year. Beloved author-illustrator Carter Higgins is back with all her quirky warmth in Round and Round the Year We Go , a book as fun to read aloud as it is to listen to and learn from. Story time is sure to provoke giggles, games, and ideas for your own seasonal escapades. A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection
