    Summer is ... a summer read aloud rhyming book for kids, fun and educational rhymes with vibrant pictures: a picture book for toddlers and young kids by Barbara Pinke
    Very colorful, rhyming, children's book about season. This one is dedicated to summer months.
    Everything about summer, sun sand, bugs is all included. So educational with all the pictures and colors.
    Other works by the author is listed at the end.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what you think it is, no more, no less
    Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    In this book, a child will read about all sorts of different things with which he might associate summer: the beach, late bedtimes, good stuff like that, and my experience was that it was a good launching point for a further discussion of what some other things are great about summer and why some of the book's listed ones are special in the summer rather than other times of the years. Ms. Pinke's words are easily understood, and the simple rhyming scheme is consistent, and Mr. Adhi's illustrations are just busy enough to engage curious eyes, but not so much so as to overwhelm.

    It's cute, short, easily forgotten, and perfect to have a little fun with the little ones.

    Four-and-a-half stars.

    "Summer is..." offers exactly what you'd expect from a children's seasonal book - bright illustrations and simple rhyming text celebrating everything that makes summer special. The book captures familiar summer joys like beaches, ice cream, and outdoor play with vibrant images that immediately evoke the season.

    The rhymes flow naturally and are easy to read aloud, which is important for a children's book. While the concept isn't particularly innovative, it executes its simple premise well, making it a pleasant addition to a seasonal reading collection.

    Unfortunately, my nephew wasn't particularly captivated by it, though that's more about individual preferences than the book's quality. Different children engage with different books, and this one might not have aligned with his current interests.

    My 5 and 7-year old both liked the book. The rhymes are well written and flows off the tongue. The book sure does capture everything that is summer in a fun and engaging way for kids. This book would be great for kids just learning to read, too, because of the easy rhyme pattern and the illustrations perfectly hinting to what the words are. Excellently done!

    This is another really lovely book by author: Barbara Pinke. It's got so much charm and quality to it. A rhyme on each page, but not just a rhyme, something beautiful and heart-felt. It's so well thought through and done with an obvious talent. I highly recommend you get this book and read it many times to your children. They will love it.
