Using what’s clearly a trick question as a hook (is there ever a wrong time for ice cream?), this science-minded board book explores characteristics of the seasons, touching on weather, animal activity, and things one could do instead of reaching for the mint chocolate chip. Each season gets two spreads. Seasonal occurrences are described in the first (“In fall... mist and clouds blow over the sun/ birds eat berries”), and children ask the title’s question in the second. The response is always no (except in summer), and alternate ideas are suggested (“It’s windy enough to fly a kite and... watch a pinwheel spin/ sail a boat”). Playful graphics mix photographs and chipper digital images, creating a cheerful atmosphere for each season. Ages 2–5. (Feb.)

A simple and fun introduction to beginner science, covering the themes of weather, temperature, plant life, and the animal kingdom.
Winter, spring, summer, and fall are each represented by a vibrant outdoor scene revealing seasonal changes, from ponds freezing over, to baby birds leaving their nests for the first time. And with changes in weather come new things to try: it's windy enough to fly a kite and spin pinwheels; it's rainy enough to splash in puddles, use an umbrella, and search for worms; it's snowy enough to build a snowman, go sledding, and drink hot chocolate. But is it warm enough for ice cream? When we reach the bright sun of the summer spread, we hear the answer: Yes it is!
