description: Solomon Raven is the smartest bird in the forest. In each book in the series recurring characters explore nature during the four seasons, bilingual text in English and Spanish. Robb Mommaerts has a style that is a cross between cartoon-like characterization, authenticity and his own playful imagination. Using elements of both fantasy and reality, Robb starts each illustration as a black and white colored pencil drawing on bristol board paper with a Berol Prismacolor® black pencil. He then colors the art in a layered digital Adobe® Photoshop file. Several overlays of color are used to achieve the look and mood that is needed. This book is full text translation. The story is presented fully in English and then again in Spanish with an icon separating the two for ease of reading.A bilingual vocabulary page in English and Spanish is included to help readers learn keywords in either language. Books in the series include: A Home for Pearl Squirrel/Una casa para la ardilla Perla (FALL), Cinnamon and the April Shower/Canela y el aguacero de Abril (SPRING), Lewis Cardinal's First Winter/El primer invierno de Luis, el cardenal (WINTER) and Mason Moves Away/Mason se muda (SUMMER). Also available in English only editions.
