Seasonal book recommendations

I like to rotate the books in the house, for my own sanity too!
I’d like to add a few seasonal ones into the mix, spring / summer / autumn / winter
obviously I’ve just got plenty of Christmas ones

but would love recommendations for spring and summer, and maybe Valentine’s Day and Easter if anyone has any?
dd is only 7m, but enjoys any book really

The Seasons board books by Gerda Muller are beautiful.

Love, Splat is a great Valentine's Day book.

Not quite what you're after but Anno's Counting Book is an incredible walk through the year.

No words at all, but it's a lovely thing to look through and spark conversations. We've had it since babyhood and my 6yo still loves it.

At 7 months I read them what I was reading. However, the Winnie the Witch series has lots that could be seasonal. Ditto Percy the Park Keeper.

Ditto Percy the Park Keeper for seasonal books. Lots of lovely spring, autumn and winter ones on particular.

I'm currently reading my Reception class lots of snow or penguin related stories (obviously penguins are not strictly winter as live in cold climates all year round but the snow makes the stories feel wintery).

My favourite winter/penguin/snow stories (author in brackets if I can remember):-

Snowball (Sue Hendra)
William's Winter Wish
One Snowy Night (Percy the Park Keeper series - Nick Butterworth)
Elmer in the Snow (David McKee)
Lost and Found (Oliver Jeffers)
Jonty Gentoo (Julia Donaldson)
Penguin Parcel
Penguin's Egg (Anna Kemp)
Be Brave Little Penguin (Giles Andreae)
The Smiley Smowman
One Winter's Day - Little Hedgehog series
Snowflakes (Cerrie Burnell)

There are some lovely Peter Rabbit books which are seasonal themed. I can definitely think of some Easter, Christmas and autumnal ones.

We're Going on an Egg Hunt is a nice one for Easter, too.

Guess How Much I Love You for Valentine's Day.

The Brambly Hedge books have one for each season.
