“Cinnamon’s Busy Year” is an adorable story of Cinnamon the mouse and her two friends, Pip and Tootie.  Through these three mice, children are introduced to the concept of months, order of the months, and specific holidays that happen each month.  If there is no holiday, the author has still provided the reader with other activities or events that would traditionally happen in a particular month (for instance, a wedding in June). 

“Cinnamon’s Busy Year” gives the child a story to follow and get interested in, yet still helps teach the months.  This book would be a wonderful addition to any preschool classroom, as well as a way for parents to reinforce the months with his or her child in a fun way.
