Sammy Spider's First Tu B'Shevat

Rating:
Summary: Around the seasons
Review: Sammy Spider's lesson this time is on the seasons. He sees how the seasons affect the trees. Then in the end they celebrate Tu B'Shvat.

As usual, the pictures are colorful and add to the flavor of the story. But unlike the usual Sammy Spider fare, this book talks less about the holiday rituals (of which there are very few) and more about the world around Sammy that eventually leads to an appreciation of the holiday.

Missing are the funny ways Sammy gets caught while trying to get in the holiday spirit; but you feel Sammy grow up as the year passes and he learns about trees and what makes them grow and how they survive the seasons.
