Join Gregory, a playful, plucky spider, as he journeys through the year and celebrates each Season's special days. Parents and kids alike will delight in Gregory's adventures: Young children will love Gregory's silly antics and the book's sing-song language -- the words can be sung to the tune of the "Itsy-Bitsy Spider;" older children will enjoy the searching the illustrations for hidden items and month-names.
​
​
"A cheery jaunt through the months of the year" with illustrations that "have a painterly, almost three-dimensional presence."
​
"An enchanting children's picture book. Gregory is a surprise main character . . . a delightful 'narrator' with his antics, his costumes, and his expressive eyes; a book that will be read over and over again!"
​
"Friendly Gregory and his pals...explore what's special about each month. . . Each page offers I-Spy animals, objects, and month names to notice or find hidden in the illustrations. . . Another nice recurring feature are children's backpacks, which often have month-related books visible, such as one on MLK for January. The illustrations are well-detailed, colorful, and appealing. . . Whimsy and hidden objects add much to the appeal of this month-by-month journey." - Kirkus Review
​
"More than your usual children's reading fare. Each page informs as it delights and I can easily see young readers spending hours happily chasing the seasons with this marvelous and friendly spider."

"This whimsical debut picture book [is] well-crafted and homey, inviting the book’s target audience into a snug kitchen where Mama Mouse makes sugarplums and Max and sister Molly stretch warm candy “’til it turned white as Santa’s beard.” The author’s playful touches include “magic mouse ladders” that enable the rodents to reach the mantel and turn into slides so they can “whoooooooosh” back down, and a little spider character for children to track in each illustration. Kindly Santa Claus and Meyer’s end-of-book, mousecentric rewrite of the famous poem contribute to the tale’s overall warmth. Soft hues and appealing details add a sweet dream vibe in [the] images. A cozy, read-aloud holiday treat for children."
"This book is exceptional. The illustrations are beautiful and the story well written and good for all ages."
"An instant classic...Hands down one of the best children's books I have read."
"It's hard to find a new twist to a seasonal story, but this book is unlike any of the others."
