Our Review

This gentle board book follows a sweet bunny named Nicholas as he explores the natural world across all four seasons, making it a wonderful first introduction to the changing year. Toddlers will delight in watching him chase butterflies in spring, observe frogs in a summer pond, and see the autumn leaves fall. Richard Scarry’s classic, vibrant illustrations are filled with charming animal characters and idyllic countryside scenes that will capture a young child's attention on every sturdy page.

What makes this nature book a standout is its perfect pacing for the youngest readers, pairing simple, lyrical text with rich, detailed artwork that invites pointing and conversation. The comforting, cyclical story that ends with Nicholas cozy in his tree, dreaming of spring’s return, provides a soothing and reassuring bedtime read. This enduring animal story successfully fosters an early love for the outdoors and the rhythms of nature.
