The Four Seasons

By Sabrina Garcia

Illustrated by Jasmine Martinez

Many places have four seasons. They are spring, summer, fall, and winter.

The winter and sunlight change season by season.

We see a lot of young animals in spring.

Chicks hatch and lambs are born.

There are more daylight hours in spring than in winter.

In summer, we have fun in the sun.

We wear short, light clothing.

Summer has the most daylight hours. It is very hot and bright. Fruit grows on trees.

The leaves drop from the trees in fall. Fall is a cooler season than summer.

Birds migrate in the fall.

You can see them in the sky.

Winter is the coldest season.

It has the fewest daylight hours.

The trees are bare.

We can make snowmen!
