Zodiac Town

Two children, Amos and Ann, run away from a poem and are met by a whimsical Journeying Man who leads them through a clock-filled town where each house represents a month. In twelve short lyrical vignettes they encounter personified month-characters, seasonal scenes, and playful domestic details; the frequent chiming of clocks requires them to respond in rhyme by echoing the last sounds on their tongues. The poems blend gentle adventure, vivid natural imagery, and rhythmic exercises, using concise narrative episodes and illustrations to introduce months, seasons, and the mechanics of verse to young readers.
