"Gentle watercolor pictures show a land- scape changing through the various times of day and the turning seasons, months, and years, and the activities of the people and animals who come to live there.
This is a counting book for numbers one through twelve. Children can count and discuss objects as the little town grows before their eyes. This wonderful wordless picture book presents children with an abundance of topics to talk and write about, since each illustration represents a different month and time of the day in the same evolving scene.
