Sweater

A smattering of new series titles teach toddlers some basics. Kit Allen surveys the seasons in a quartet of board books: Galoshes (spring), Swimsuit (summer), Sweater (autumn) and Longjohns (winter). Each depicts a boy getting dressed, then enjoying activities appropriate to the season, with minimalist art outlined in black and one word of text per page. In Swimsuit, ""sun"" shows the boy stretched out on a towel on the sand; in Longjohns, ""snow"" shows the boy in a similar pose, decked out in snowsuit, boots, mittens and hat.
