Using the alphabet and the northern seasons as a guide, Norm, a black lab, experiences the best part of living on a lake in Minnesota. Young children will enjoy the rhyming as they discover what Norm is up to next. The colorful drawings have such a cozy feeling, they might even make the readers want to live on a lake, too!
