Vernita is the Queen of the Oceaneers Kingdom and lives in a beautiful castle. She has many wonderful friends from the land of Quails but has not seen any of them for a whole year and misses them. So she invites twelve of her good friends to visit her for one month each. Debbie comes in January, Tommy comes in February, and so forth. Vernita and her monthly friends do something different each day of the week, but everything that is done is related to the season, such as snowball fights in the winter, miniature golf in the spring, sleeping outside in the summer, and picking apples in the fall.
The author has a Masters Degree in Special Education and has worked with the severely handicapped population. The story is woven around her own friends and family. This is a great tool for parents or teachers to use in helping students, perhaps even including many with various kinds of learning disabilities, to understand the months of the year, the days of the week, and the seasons in a fun way. The sumptuous, full-color drawings are eye-catching and help to illustrate the action of the story for the reader. All children should love it. Even my twelve-year-old found it appealing. I give it a high five!
