When new leaves sprout, buds appear, cocoons burst open, and other signs announce the coming of spring, various animals from bears to bullfrogs respond to the warmth of the season. By the author of Winter Lullaby. 15,000 first printing.
We read this for our Spring story time. I picked it for the illustrations which are bold and detailed. The kids enjoyed guessing what each animal was doing before I turned the page, which was great for story time.

Nice illustrations, but the book falls somewhat short.
Although not as useful as Winter Lullaby, this is a sweet seasonal book for preschool and K. Beautiful illustrations and simple text convey the activities of various creatures with the arrival of Spring. The last spread is a little confusing because the appearance of butterflies seems to be a late summer occurrence rather than a springtime one.
Love the illustration style- acrylic on Strathmore paper. Textures abound which really add depth to the illustrations. Story keeps you wanting to turn pages.
