A Red Wagon Year, Kathi Appelt, illustrated by
Laura McGee Kvasnosky. Fall 1996, Harcourt/Red Wagon. Picture book for Ages 3-6. A joyful
journey over four seasons traveled by a half-dozen kids, their pets, and a trusty red
wagon.
Reviews Kids will want to pore over
the colorful double-page spreads to see what unfolds for the six children, two dogs, one
squirrel, and many robins living in a cozy, integrated neighborhood. Adding to the fun are
painterly borders that feature seasonal motifs and the name of each month. A buoyant take
on a mainstay of the preschool curriculum. Booklist
