From School Library Journal:
Wendy Anderson Halperin is the illustrator of numerous books for children.
PreSchool-Grade 2 The wide and enticing variety of activities mentioned by an unseen narrator should quell any child's complaint, there's nothing to do. Suggestions include watching cloud formations, building a fort, catching fireflies and then letting them go, sledding, painting, and climbing a tree. Books offer possibilities, too: finding a quiet spot and reading your very favorite book. And then reading it again...just because it is your favorite. Some pastimes, many of which span the seasons, are only revealed in the remarkable pictures and are demonstrated by a multicultural assortment of children. The watercolor and pen-and-ink spreads lend themselves to close examination as the pictures are chock-full of pleasant details. The designs they incorporate were inspired by the eight patterns found in nature including the spiral, the sphere, the helix, and branching and create delightful surprises at page turns. This enjoyable and useful title will inspire children on those rare occasions when precious free time magically materializes. Maryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WI
