Aaron Price starts off the chapter by describing how during winter people have to be careful while walking or playing outside to avoid slipping on the ice. Then, he goes on to talk about some of the joys of winter. He describes how people can go out and sled and make snowmen and have snowball fights. He also tells stories about some of the animals that live in the wintertime: the mighty polar bear, the snow hare, and the graceful Arctic swan. At the end of the chapter, Aaron Price talks about the importance of remaining comfy and cozy through the winter months, so readers can be prepared for all the adventures to come.

Chapter Two: Spring

He describes how the snow starts to disappear, the rivers start to swell, and the trees start to bloom. He also talks about some of the animals that live through spring, even hibernating ones. He tells stories about some of the creatures that start their lives in the springtime, like the little baby raccoons that scurry through the newly thawed countryside. Lastly, he talks about different activities to do in the spring to take advantage of all of that energy. He suggests going on picnics, planting gardens, and updating your wardrobe with some pretty new colors.

He also gives some unique suggestions on what to do with friends like treasure hunts or ghost stories around a campfire. Lastly, he discusses the importance of taking a break to enjoy the moment.

Chapter Four: Fall

The last chapter of The Four Seasons is dedicated to the changing of the seasons to Fall. Here Aaron Price does a wonderful job of combining nature, art, and music into this chapter.
