"Henkes and Dronzek evoke the sights, sounds, and joys of summer, completing their celebratory seasonal quartet . . . [Summer Song] captures the magic of childhood summers, when colors are a song and a backyard can sing the wonders of the world." -- <em>Kirkus Reviews </em><strong>(starred review)</strong> "[A] conclusion to the seasonal quartet from the award-winning duo celebrates summer at last, reveling in its endless delights of green songs. . . . A luscious finale." -- <em>Booklist </em><strong>(starred review)</strong> "The creators of Winter Is Here, When Spring Comes, and In The Middle of Fall, are back with the final installment of the seasons series.

Melodic and evocative, this book captures the essence of summer and its unique seasonal song." -- Horn Book Magazine "Henkes and Dronzek make the sounds of summer-the lawn mowers, the sprinklers, the birds and the crickets-so vibrant we almost hear colors. Summer has never hummed so brightly. . . . Follow four diverse friends as they lie in meadows, chase fireflies, walk their dogs and look for frogs." -- <em>New York Times Book Review</em> Read more...
