In this second book of the series, Lily and Trooper greet summer with a big ""Hooray "" They jump on a bicycle and head for the beach, where they catch a fish. In a meadow they pick wildflowers and unwittingly attract a swarm of bees, sending them into a pond for shelter. By day's end they are so tired they stretch out on top of the covers and fall fast asleep.
Lily and Trooper are wonderfully developed characters, visually. The paintings are wonderful in each page-bright, cheerful, cartoon-like. Children will really love the pictures, but the drawings have to carry the book because the story is too simplistic, and doesn't really have that quality that engages a reader. Still, the entire season-series is enjoyable.
