the Previously Published Adventures Of Cocky Young Simon In Each Season Are Collected Here To Take Young Readers Through The Year. Simon Expresses His Delight In The Activities He Can Pursue As The Seasons Pass. He Loves The Spring, The Arrival Of Flowers And Birds. He Loves The Warm Sun Of Summer, The Frogs, The Butterflies. In Autumn He Keeps Busy Blowing Bubbles, Saying Goodbye To The Birds, And Waiting For The Clouds To Clear So He Can Fly His Kite. Finally, He Loves The Snowflakes Of Winter And The Stars In The Winter Sky. And Throughout The Year, He Enjoys His Time With His Friends. The Somewhat Textured Full-page Illustrations Are Subtly Designed, Using Colors To Support The Mood Of Each Season. Simon's Head Is Round; It Needs Only A Couple Of Dots For Eyes And Lines For Nose And Lips To Express His Feelings. The Softness Of Sky And Landscape Suggests The Use Of Airbrush. The Frequent Appearance Of Naturalistic Birds, Frogs, And Butterflies Add A Bit To The Overall Environments That Are A Bit Dreamy But Reality Based.
