What Makes the Seasons?

By Megan Montague Cash

This book talks about the changing seasons through poetry! Each pages talks about different facets of each season. At the end of the story, we're asked "But what controls the season's change? And what makes weather rearrange?" This part of the story goes into the tilt of the earth and the relationship between the earth and the sun. It tells the information in a simple and easy to understand way.

I am a huge fan of this book. The text moves on the page with the illustration sometimes acting almost as a label. For example, when talking about hibernation, the text explaining hibernation is underground in between sleeping animals. I also really enjoyed the rhyming poetry scheme that this story has. It makes it very engaging to students of a young age, and it is telling them a lot about how the seasons change in a way that will make them want to listen!
