Title: Pretty...but pretty worthless
Product review: These books were originally written for a French audience, and so unless your climate matches that of France, the statements about the weather that accompanies each season will be inaccurate! "Spring is the season of mild, showery weather"...summer is a time of brief thunderstorms...beaches aren't cloudy for long...autumn is "cool" and "damp"...and it snows in the winter. In addition, like virtually all the books in this series, it contains factual errors--"no two snowflakes are alike." That's substituting folklore for fact, which is common with these books.The good points:-The illustrations are lovely-There is a brief, accurate (as far as it goes) description of fog, rainbows, and snow ("ice crystals")-There is a discussion of the seasons, even if all the details are unlikely to match your climate.This saves it--barely--from one star.
