“The December days shorten and darken.” So begins this simple but informative picture book by Eugenie Doyle, who lives on a working farm herself. The book walks the reader through all the tasks that must be done before the arrival of winter, from chopping wood to boarding up the chicken coop. Each chore gets its own page in the book, and the beautiful, detailed illustrations show the contrast on the farm between summer and winter. Recommended for any young readers who have an interest in farming or gardening, or for those who enjoy learning about the changing seasons.
