None of my children have ever liked the paper covers on hardback and always remove them, so I was pleased to see that this has a nice cover underneath (some hardbacks just have plain cloth covers, but this looks good with or without the slip cover). We get to learn which flowers bloom in summer, winder, spring and autumn, and even which berries are edible and which ones will send you off into the land of poison. It was also very fun, because I took turns reading the poems with my neice, who sometimes put them to her own tunes.My daughter has the earlier version and I purchased the newer version for my niece, as they both adore it.
