The illustrations in this book are absolutely beautiful, however they don't flow well with the text. The text is very minimal but oddly with vocab that little ones might not understand. The majority of the book talked about winter with very little said about spring. I was looking at this book for a potential toddler story time, and I just didn't feel it would keep the attention of that age. Maybe more suited for elementary aged kids.

I really enjoy this series. Pak does a great job showing through words and illustrations the subtle changes that happen as one season exits and the next season begins.

After reading Goodbye Autumn, Hello Winter I wanted to see how the illustrated picture books of the other seasons would be like. I picked up the "Winter" one. This one had the feeling of Winter as we follow a young boy with his dog go exploring around his countryside seeing how nature began the seasonal change. I liked how this one felt longer than the Autumn book. Where I live, Autumn is over very quickly and Winter likes to linger, the illustrations in this book did a good joy portraying this.

A lovely depiction of winter turning into spring! I appreciated that “spring” is more like Minnesota spring and less like the happy beautiful landscape the spring is normally depicted as.

A boy greets all the beautiful parts of winter from snow to a frozen pond to an empty nest to winter trees, and then watches as winter fades into spring.

My review for this book is exactly the same as for Goodbye Autumn, Hello Winter:
The art of the changing seasons is beautiful; I want prints to hang up at home. The text of this book is very basic, but it points out the little happy things that change with the season. It's a good book to read to get excited for spring.
