The Winter King and the Summer Queen
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Although the text is not first-rate, the beautiful illustrations carry the story. As an elementary school librarian, I use this book with kindergartners, who love it and check it out over and over. A large bulletin board version of the King and Queen serves as a takeoff for vocabulary development--winter words are written on die-cut snowflakes, icicles, and clouds, and summer words are written on flowers, bees, bunnies, etc. Although not scientifically accurate, the pourquoi story satisfies young children's sense of wonder.
Neato, I must say...

When I ordered this book, there was no other review for me to go upon. I judged this book solely on its cover and I am very pleased. The pictures are beautiful (in an ordinary way) and fit the story very well. However, they are not in the same league as K.Y. Craft or Mercer Mayer's fairy tale work. One thing that I found very helpful within this book for a classroom is the diversity pictured. The King and Queen's friends are all different colors and different cultures, which teaches young children an important lesson. My favorite is Maya Monsoon. The story also teaches children the importance of compromise and settling arguements with words not actions. The story is a creative way to explain the changing of the seasons and weather, with the neat addition of the King and Queen's friends. This book does a nice job explaing something quite complicated to young children. Enjoy!
