Reviews
“This book provides concrete bench marks for the rhythms of one year, a concept that young children often find difficult to grasp. . . The gentle soothing presentation of daily life and the appreciation of simple pleasures is (sic) welcome.  A useful reinforcement for teaching time and calendar skills.” – School Library Journal

“The passage of time is a difficult concept for young children to grasp.  The author has done a clever job using seasonal changes to clarify this concept for children in this delightful picture book. . . The author’s. . . . experience as an educator is apparent in the way she takes her character through the process of waiting without making her impatience irritating to the reader. . . The watercolor illustrations could each be framed and displayed.” – Foreword Magazine

Time for the Fair is not only a tribute to the culture of new England fairs, but a study of the four seasons and a lesson on patience.” – The Forecaster, Falmouth, Maine
