I received book for review from Candlewick Press. The opinions within this post are of my own and I was not influenced in any way. Please do your own research before purchasing products or using services. Your opinions and results may differ.
Book Overview:
When the days stretch out like a slow yawn, and the cheerful faces of Johnny-jump-ups jump up . . . then it’s time to get ready for summer! From flip-flops and hide-and-seek to fireworks and ice-cream trucks, from lemonade stands and late bedtimes to swimming in the lake and toasting marshmallows, there’s something for everyone in this bright and buoyant celebration of the sunny season. Tom Brenner’s lovely, lyrical ode to summers spent outdoors will strike a chord with anyone who’s ever counted down the days until school gets out, and Jaime Kim’s jubilant, nostalgia-soaked illustrations leave little doubt that summer is indeed a time unlike any other.
My Review:
Summer seems to bring a renewed sense of feeling. Kids are out of school, and they're excited to experience all that summer brings. And Then Comes Summer is a hardcover book that presents the many activities kids participate in during the season and celebrates all that is good about summer. Flip-flops, bicycle rides, lemonade stands, and fishing are just some of the adventures that are brought to view with the descriptive words and comely illustrations.
Win It!
One person will win a hardcover book copy of And Then Comes Summer.
