Dk: An Anthology of the Seasons, Gebunden

Klappentext

This latest title in the hugely popular Anthology series takes a fresh new look at Earth's seasons and the traditions associated with them from around the world . This includes Hanami - the cherry blossom festival of Japan marking the fleeting beauty of spring, La Tomatina in Spain, where people throw tomatoes to celebrate summer, the Thanksgiving festival in North America, commemorating the autumn harvest, and the Harbin Festival in China, a winter festival featuring illuminated ice sculptures.

Stunning photography and gorgeous illustrations complement storybook descriptions about each topic, and children can uncover hundreds of fascinating facts as they read. Did you know that the seasons are mainly due to the Earth's tilt, and that spring is now arriving earlier in many areas due to climate change?

With foil on the cover, gilded edges, and a ribbon for keeping your place, An Anthology of the Seasons makes an attractive gift for any child fascinated by the natural world and the stories and facts behind the seasons - and it's perfect for young readers to explore by themselves or for bedtime stories.
