Winter King, Summer Queen

Winter King, Summer Queen - This tale of the seasons is for ages 4-8 (6-10 if read alone). I'm not sure if it is based on any particular legend, but I think it is a cute introduction for young children. The Winter King and the Summer Queen each rule over their respective lands, until the cold music the Winter King and his followers (including my three year old's favorite, Phillipa Freezo) play starts to freeze everybody. The Summer Queen and her followers send a rainbow to thaw things out, and eventually they agree to share the earth by taking turns. This book also comes with a CD, but it's such a fun book to read aloud that I don't think we have ever listened to it.
