Nature all around is round...
Take a spin through the seasons in this thoughtful and meditative picture book that explores roundness in the natural world. There are round birds' nests and eggs in the spring, round raindrops falling from the sky in the summer, round apples filling the trees in the fall, and round snowflakes covering the ground in winter--and so much more! Little ones will love this stunning read-aloud that is certain to intrigue and inspire them to start looking all around outside for things that are round.
"Nature all around is round," begins this exploration of shapes round or partially round in nature, beginning with a tiny bird and ending with the planets in our solar system. The pair of two-word phrases in each illustration, each dyad ending with "round," rhymes: "Glowing round. / Growing round," reads the text in a spread that features fireflies encased in rings of lights and a crescent moon. In a spread featuring a frog, the creature hangs on tight to a lily pad caught on a small current ("Cling round") and then jumps into the water, creating ripples in the water that "Ring round." Some pairings will prompt discussion more than others, such as an empty nest that is "Nest round," paired with a nest filled with bird eggs that is "Best round."--Kirkus Reviews "July 15, 2020"
