Charming children's story. Enjoy the antics of these four puppies as they play outside for the first time. As the seasons change, they become sad and confused because they don't understand why they can't play the same games. The friendly red squirrel helps them to understand that each season is different, and provides new things to see and do. And as the seasons change, the puppies grow...into big brave dogs.

Join in on a lively look into the animal world. Twenty-two original stories and poems by Caldecott-winning artists Alice and Martin Provensen take you on a merry romp through farmyard, zoo, and forest. Here you will visit the barber for a lion's hair-cut, meet a tiger having a very unhappy birthday (no one is brave enough to come to his party!), and outsmart a wily fox. There is even useful and humorous advice, including "How to Recognize a Wolf in the Forest" and "How to Sleep Through the Winter." And, of course, all of these poems and tales are surrounded by the authors' engaging and ingenious art. Full of fun and imagination, this remarkable collection is sure to enthrall and delight all ages--a wonderful addition to any storytime.
