Continue reading » A little boy worries throughout the summer that he's not getting bigger, but at the end of the season, he tries on his winter clothes and realizes that he has grown It's a nice story, one that pretty much everybody would call charming, and what I liked most about it was the way it showed the rhythm of the changing seasons (though no winter made appearance). The existence of the Boy and his Mother had a timeless quality (despite all this growing going on), brought out by the internal rhythms of the text. Helen Oxenbury's illustrations emphasise this timeless character. They are subtle, gentle and pretty in a cottage garden kind of way (but not actually twee, I hasten to add), with a hint of haze that nostalgia tends to give to older adults' memories of childhood. First of all I think Krauss and Oxenbury have produced a lovely story as well as very detailed and colourful illustrations! This is a lovely book about a young boy who watches everything around him grow, but feels that he himself isn't growing. Until one day when he tries to put on some clothes that he had worn the year before, and couldn't really fit into! He is then very excited that he has grown!
