In the first book of the series, Lily and Trooper wake to the sounds of birds singing. It must be spring. What better way to celebrate than a picnic breakfast? Suddenly a cow surprises them, sending them scurrying up a tree. Later, they swing a little too high, fall off, and land in a group of very surprised sheep! The sheep lead to pigs, which lead to mud, which leads to a mother duck and her ducklings. Finally it's time for a warm bath and bed.

Kate lives in a nice, tidy little house and keeps busy doing chores, but she's not exactly friendly. When Bruce decides to build a home next door, all that banging infuriates her. He offers her dandelion tea, but she says no. How about fishing? No! Soon winter is upon them. While Kate is warm and well fed in her home, Bruce is shivering and hungry in his shack. How the two eventually bond over Bruce's unusual "hammer soup" makes for an enchanting, vividly drawn tale of unexpected friendship and the joy of sharing.

Snowflakes dot the sky as Lily and Trooper awaken one winter morning. They know that frosty fun is in store! First, they dress up a snowman. Then a ski adventure lands them headfirst in a snowy heap and they call it a day. Warm inside, they remember the snowman and rush outside only to watch him turn into a large puddle. It's definitely time to tuck into a dry, warm bed.

A vast amount of plastic waste - twice the size of the United States - is floating in the Pacific Ocean. Welcome to the Great Pacific Garbage Path: the Plastic Soup. Plastic is an incredible material we can't do without, but it also creates the biggest pollution problem imaginable. This is something Jesse Goossens discovers during her travels and conversations across the United States and Europe. Her blogs and interviews are shocking, fascinating and dismaying. In this full-color book, she uncovers the effects of plastic waste on our health and on the environment, not only in the Pacific Ocean, but everywhere on earth.

Each season has its special joys and all are explored in the Lily and Trooper series, now combined into a single volume families can enjoy throughout the year. "Imaginative Lily and her trusty dog Trooper make their own seasonal fun as they picnic in the country, play at the beach, jump in leaf piles, and go skating and skiing. A brief line of text appears under pictures rendered in vibrant color with a childlike, finger-painted quality." -The Horn Book

By day's end they are so tired they stretch out on top of the covers and fall fast asleep.
