Helen Oxenbury and Ruth Krauss bring us a classically beautiful picture book, sharing the universal experience of growing up and the timeless rhythms of the seasons. A little boy, some chicks and a puppy live together on a farm, and as the first signs of spring appear in the fields, the boy asks his mother whether he and the puppy will grow too. Of course you will, she reassures him, and as spring turns to summer, he watches his dog grow taller and the chicks turn into chickens. But as the seasons change and everything around him grows, the little boy begins to wonder whether he’s stayed exactly the same. Can he really be growing too? This charming, timeless story will enchant younger readers and is perfect for sharing aloud, beautifully presented as an illustrated paperback for any little child wondering if they’re growing too.
