There were already two Louises in my family when I was born: my mother and my grandmother, Nana, who lived with us when I was growing up. So early on, I was given the name Leezie. This is a name that my family still calls me. Years later, my niece was born and also named Louise. Then there were four of us with the same name! Louise is a fine name to have except that people often spell it incorrectly. Sometimes my mail is addressed to Louisa, or Louisie, or Lewis, or Lois. Leezie is also tough for people to spell. Names and their pronunciations have always interested me, so writing about a teacher named Mrs. Kempczinski was a natural thing for me to do.
I grew up in a house at the top of a steep street in Cincinnati, Ohio, the kind of street that is a big challenge when you are pedaling uphill on your bicycle. My two sisters and I used to ride our bikes down, down our street, and then to the local dimestore to buy candy bars or meet up with our friends. But coming home, we had to pedal up our long hill. (This was before mountain bikes!) Pedaling slowly up my street may be where I learned perseverance, something all writers need when they are working alone at their desks.
Writing picture books came much later—after studying history in college, getting married, and raising three children. Even though I didn't grow up to be a composer, I like to think that my picture books are almost songs because the sound of words and the poetry of my style are so important in the texts that I write. I work very hard at my desk, revising and revising and revising, trying to find just the right words that will be beautiful or fun to read.

The illustrations are darling, as my aunt would say, and the poetry simple and fun. The four seasons best highlights for kids in one little book.

basic, easy to read descriptions in short sentences and fun illustrations about the 4 seasons.

Good, poetic walk through the seasons. The right amount of words to pair up with the illustrations and give the reader a chance to reflect on the poetry. "Spring is grass, grass, grass. Dad cuts the grass and cuts the grass and cuts the grass."

Caps, Hats, Socks And Mittens: a book about the Four Seasons by Louise W. Borden is a great basic book about the four seasons. Written in simple language, it focuses on the seasons at a child's level. Starting with the sentence "Winter is caps, hats, scoks and mittens.", the book covers all fours seasons. It talks about sleds, steaming mugs and cups, mud, plants and pots, picnics in the sun, a hot dog and hot dogs, ball games, swimming, bugs, Fall colors, pens and desks,frsts and soccer. The illustrations by Lillian Hoban are colorful, cheerful and lively.
For ages 3 to 6, season themes, and fans of Louise Borden and Lillian Hoban.

This story tell the different things involved in the different seasons. It is very easy for young children to understand.
This is a book that could be used in a science class to teach about the differences in the seasons. It tells what you can do in the seasons, what the weather is like, and some of the clothing to wear in the seasons. This is a story the students would be able to connect with and understand.

Caps, Hats, Socks, and Mittens: A Book About the Four Seasons is a book that goes full circle. Starts off with winter and travels through spring, summer, and fall...and then back to winter again. Delightful illustrations accompany the simple text.
Used for "Mittens and Hats" Story Time: February, 2012.

This would be great for lower grade levels. It discusses the four seasons briefly and at an age appropriate level. We could have discussions on what type of weather you might see in each season and what the appropriate clothing would be to wear. Students could also do a descriptive writing piece about their favorite seasons and why.

Starting with winter, we hear what season "is"... It's a free verse poetry form that will be fun to extend in the classroom. Winter is hot cocoa, red sleds downhill, and so forth. Lilian Hoban's cartoony watercolor illustrations are a good match for the child-like ideas.

This is the perfect book to teach about the 4 seasons. It also states many different things you would see or expect in each season . I would use this as a writing piece to talk about your favorite season and why . Opinion essay on why it's the best season !
