PreS-Gr 1—Sixteen little girls, in two straight lines, dressed identical in yellow raincoats and blue pants yet each named and distinctive set off on a series of seasonal adventures. Through the seasons readers see them enjoying the outdoors, diving and splashing, exploring, running, and riding. Building snowmen, hiking mountains, picking apples, or skipping in a field. The simple and colorful cartoon drawings make each page lively and interesting. There are no grown-ups anywhere in the story, and it's unclear whether these girls are at a boarding school, an orphanage, or just at home, but there's an air of familiarity with the girls that's reminiscent of Ludwig Bemelmans's Madeline.
VERDICT An enjoyable and a recommended addition for one-on-one and small group sharing.
