Very popular with our preschooler. Wonderful artwork. Lilly is delightfully silly. Great for kids just learning to read. ( )

"The world goes around...and the seasons change!" Lilly marches through each season, doing seasonally appropriate activities (finding seashells on the beach in summer, rolling snowballs in winter, taking a bite out of each apple in fall, a la Ramona Quimby). Lilly's teddy accompanies her. This small book is welcoming to emerging readers with its small trim size, landscape orientation, and spacious layout, with no more than four panels across a double page spread. ( )

This is a book about Lilly as she discovers the four seasons. First, she is shown during the Spring and she goes to the park and plays with her bear. Second, she goes through Summer and spends a day exploring at the beach. Third, she is in the Fall and she is looking and tasting different apples. Fourth, she is shown in Winter making a snowball. Last, she is shown in Spring again as she plays on a swing. This book chronicles the journey of the four seasons and what activities the girl does in each one.

I want to like it. But, I cannot think of a kid I know would would really like this book. The best season is Fall because of the apple colors and idea that an apple that is "not so pretty" can be "very yummy." Just didn't work for me. ( )

Silly Lilly was a great book for an early reader because of the graphic novel style of the book it was engaging with many different illustrations throughout the book all organized the same way on each page. The vocabulary was suitable for an early reader. It also listed all the seasons in order and showed Lilly doing things that are typical activities for those seasons.
