“Another winner by Kathy MacMillan! This second book in the “Sign the Season” series is every bit as adorable as the first one. The book works both as a quick story read and as a fun way to learn sign language with your child. It has a definite read it over and over again quality, which is so important in board books. And by the time you do read through it with those “Read it again!” moments on the couch with your little one, you’ll know lots of basic signs to get you through the winter. The illustrations are bright and colorful with accurate depictions of the signs, and they’re a perfect complement to the story.” – Veronica Bartles, author of The Princess and the Frogs
