Zodiac Town The Rhymes of Amos and Ann

"Zodiac Town" by Nancy Byrd Turner is an imaginative children's book from the early 20th century that uses enchanting rhymes and stories to bring the months of the year to life. The book centers on two siblings, Amos and Ann, who are transported to the extraordinary Zodiac Town by the mysterious Journeying Man after struggling with their poetry. The town, located mysteriously located in the land of Time, uniquely represents each month with distinct personalities, settings and houses, such as the frosty January house made entirely of snow and the joyous December house lit with Christmas lights. Through engaging with these creatively unique representations, the children discover the importance of poetry, and they return home with a revitalized appreciation for rhyme and the magic of storytelling.
