Seasonal Shelf

Of course, almost any book could be slotted in here (and pretty much all of these are also on either the picture book or nature study pages), but the following titles overtly or very evocatively have to do with a given season etc. so are specifically on the rotation for our seasonal shelf. 

(more reviews and titles being added over time as we get our random book piles tidied up ;))
