    In four entertaining tales, author/artist Nick Bruel, perhaps best known for his Bad Kitty books, chronicles the adventures of a young girl over the course of a single year. From Winter Wear, in which the girl is prepared so thoroughly for the cold weather that by the time she gets outside her opportunity for play has passed, to Spring Splendor, in the girl and her dog drag an unwilling cat into a game of make-believe, all four seasons are covered. Rounding out the selections are Summer Sidewalks, in which Louise the purple hippopotamus freezes and unfreezes the girl, and Fall Foliage, in which the girl uses storytelling to reassure her favorite arboreal friend about the transformation he is undergoing as the season progresses.With a delightfully quirky sense of humor and appealing, cartoon-strip style illustrations, A Wonderful Year captures the beauty and joy of the changing seasons, and one girl's experiences as time marches on around her. There were moments here - when Louise the purple hippo falls asleep while the (melted) girl is "freezing" back into shape! - that had my chuckling, and others - the tree listening attentively to the girl's story about a brave arboreal hero who isn't afraid of his changing colors - that struck me with their sharp sense of poignancy. My favorite story was Fall Foliage, both because autumn is my favorite season, and because the artwork here - it looked almost like cut-paper illustrations - appealed to me the most strongly. Recommended to anyone looking for entertaining and engaging picture-books about the changing seasons, and about creative girls and their imaginary games.

    A surreal journey through the four seasons, each season a self-contained story, spans a range of emotions from silly to touching.

    This book is a great way to introduce students to the seasons. The little girl in the story journeys through the seasons and encounters many adventures and friends along the way. A memorable and fun way to introduce or teach the aspects of seasons in the classroom or at home.
