I just received my Amazon package with the book Seasons by Blexbolex. I have read about this book in the Horn Book Guide and LMNOP Magazine.
The book is a fresh take on the theme of seasons. The block print-esque images evoke feelings of each season. The words are actions as well as "things" (nouns). The book is not a narrative, but many words poetically organized, one word per page.
My teaching brain already goes to multiple ideas with this book for dance classes. I will most likely use it with students in 1st grade through possibly 4th. The text and images can be springboards to build movement phrases, or reading the book can inspire your students to create their own lists of verbs and nouns about spring, summer, winter, and fall.
Check it out!
