Nice for teaching seasons, but interest in the book is quickly lost, as there is not much meat.

This is about a young bear who enjoyed the seasons and being outside during the four seasons! In the summer he loves to go to the pool, picking pumpkins in the fall, speeding in the winter! I can teach this by showing the kids all four seasons and the ways you can enjoy it.

[Emily Knickerbocker]

This book talks about the different seasons what to wear in them, and a few things to do in the seasons. I would do a lesson about seasons and have my students write what they wear for each season.

Seasons, seasons, and more seasons is what this book is about. Bear has a busy schedule no matter what season it is. Quick read but very nicely displays the different activities that can be had depending on the weather. Kids can listen and discuss what they do when each season changes.
