Each time you look at it you discover new relationships from one picture to the next. But the seemingly simple plan of the book is deceptive: look more carefully and you will see one-to-one correspondences groups and sets scales and tabulations changes over time periods and many other mathematical relation- ships as they occur in natural everyday living." This book has very cleverly shown a landscape as it changes over time and seasons. "Gentle watercolor pictures show a land- scape changing through the various times of day and the turning seasons, months, and years, and the activities of the people and animals who come to live there.

This wonderful wordless picture book presents children with an abundance of topics to talk and write about, since each illustration represents a different month and time of the day in the same evolving scene.
As they try to bring sense and order into what they observe, they are actually performing basic mathematical feats.
Children start to count long before they learn their ABC's, for they are constantly comparing and classifying things and events they observe around them. Every child is a natural mathematician, according to Mitsumasa Anno.
