A wooden puzzle that watches one little house through an entire year. Four thick layers stack together, each showing the very same cottage and garden in a different season: bare branches and snow drifts, a garden bursting with tulips and returning birds, sunflowers and children playing in the summer grass, and finally a tree heavy with apples as leaves drift down in autumn. Lifting and restacking the layers lets a child compare the seasons directly, spotting what changes (snowman versus sunflowers) and what stays the same (the same red-roofed house, the same chimney, the same cat), a concrete way to build an early sense of how time and weather cycle through the year. Each layer is a full jigsaw in its own right, cut into pieces that click satisfyingly into place, so there's real puzzle-solving happening on top of the seasonal storytelling. Warm, detailed illustration rewards slow looking at every stage. A puzzle that grows with a child's patience, for curious hands ages 3 and up.
