All Around Bustletown: Summer by Rotraut Susanne Berner
We have all four of the Bustletown books, and it's so fun to go through each one (one for each season) to see how the town changes and what its inhabitants are up to. You can follow specific characters through each page and make up stories about them or use the book as a search-and-find. There is always something new to discover.

In this picture book, a little boy can't wait until summer, but it's not summer yet. His mother points out how nature is changing from spring to summer, encouraging kids to seek out the same changes in their own backyard.
