The Rolling Garden

Young readers can travel along with the Four Seasons circus and discover the bounty of each new season!

Join Antonio the clown and Fanny the elephant as they travel around with their Four Seasons circus and rolling garden. As the year goes by, Antonio meets his four friends Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter and offers them gifts from his rolling garden. Part of the First Steps in Art series, this magical tale about friendship and giving introduces toddlers to the seasons through the famous works of Giuseppe Arcimboldo. Discover this unique style at the Louvre Museum and delight in how each head is made from flowers, plants, fruits, vegetables, roots, or branches. Each new year brings new adventure.

Each book in the First Steps in Art series aims to spark an early interest in toddlers for the world of fine art from famous paintings to ancient figurines and includes a short lesson in art history.
