Review
From the thoughtfulness of the endpapers, to the perfectly-chosen ideas that capture the coming of Spring, husband-and-wife team Henkes & Dronzek have created a winning picture book. Wonderful imagery and language provide a window into the Spring season. There is even a nod to the fact that Spring can change its mind and drop some unexpected snow on the newly blooming Spring flowers, something to which our Maine readers can relate. The book covers not only the things that will happen to the Earth, but the things that a child will experience with all senses. A fantastic addition to collections that include seasonal books.
Overall Book Score: excellent
