Rating: *** (3-star scale)
Comments:
This is a great book. For adults, at least. Unless a child
is keenly aware of the seasons (and lives in the proper part of the country) or
has spent time planting a garden, this may not do much for them.
But for me, this was a great book. It perfectly depicts that feeling northerners like me feel each year,
namely, that spring can’t come fast enough. And it’s brown, brown, brown, then,
suddenly one day, green!
The illustrations are lovely. There is an picture of a bear
scratching himself with a sign that is hilarious and worth the price of
admission!
Would you recommend
this to a friend?
Yes.
