A beautiful, interactive picture book that teaches about four seasons to little kids. It seems magical to children because they think their actions cause the tree to change. This book starts with a bare tree and the reader has to follow the instruction given on each page. For instance, it says tap the tree once and when the kid taps it, a small leaf appears on the next page. Later, the reader needs to tap it, shake it, jiggle it, or even blow it a kiss. The leaves grow, flowers blossom and even you can knock the apples in this book. A very beautiful book about nature and a must-have book on your bookshelf. Definitely a book that surpasses the need for electronic gadgets to keep the kids engaged.
