夏天是一个和鲜花，野餐，雷雨和骑自行车联系在一起的季节，是建筑工人，农民和房屋油漆工忙碌的季节。操场上到处都是孩子，度假者们则成群结队地登上火车。空中有一对气球飘过每个场景，而在大街上，大人和小孩都准备去参加一场户外的生日派对。甚至有一场大风暴把伞吹得翻了过来，让帽子飞舞起来，但最终变成了一条美丽的彩虹。当孩子们仔细阅读这些超大尺寸的跨页时，他们将在走路，玩耍，慢跑和溜冰的过程中——从家到公园，从办公楼到火车站——在每一页上发现相同的角色。

"It's summer and that means flowers, picnics, thunderstorms, and bike rides. It's a busy time for construction workers, farmers, and house painters. Playgrounds are filled with kids and vacationers are boarding trains in droves. In the sky a pair of balloons drifts through every scene, while on the street people of all ages make their way to an outdoor birthday party. There's even a big storm that turns umbrellas inside out, sends hats flying, but ends in a lovely rainbow. As kids pore over these oversized spreads, they will delight in identifying the same characters on each page as they walk, play, jog, and roller skate - from homes to parks and office buildings to rail stations.

In the tradition of Richard Scarry and Where's Wally, this book encourages kids to return again and again to these charming spreads, following along with the characters and inventing their own stories. All kinds of summer activities come alive in these endearing drawings that provide endless entertainment and spark engaging conversations.
