Book Review: Silly Lilly and The Four Seasons

Silly Lilly and the Four Seasons by Agnes Rosenstiehl explores each of the four seasons with a familiar sense of awe and wonder that we all felt as a child. This adorable book so creatively introduces young readers to the four seasons and to the inevitable changes that unfold outdoors. Written in comic book style, Silly Lilly caught my daughter’s attention and inspired a bedtime conversation ranging from the many different colors of apples to the way sand feels under our toes at the beach. The teacher in me loved the fact that this book is so naturally and playfully interwoven with many literary elements such as sight words, color words, sequencing, and Science concepts. My daughter delighted in the bright and colorful illustrations, and was able to easily connect with the character, Silly Lilly. Geared for children ages four through eight, Silly Lilly is an excellent addition to our children’s literature collection! (We all need a little Silly Lilly in us, don’t we?) Buy Silly Lilly and the Four Seasons by Agnes Rosenstiehl on Amazon.

The title is simply intriguing! We need a little "silliness" in this troubled word - young and old alike!
