Review

The third morning that Hoppy woke and checked for spring he was rewarded with the perfect day. Hopgood's bright colorful and charming illustrations make Hoppy jump off the two page spreads as he explores the change of season. Small children will notice the crayon effect and burst of color that bring this book to life. Adults and children alike will be delighted with all the animals including those that appear to be hiding in the flowers and grass.

Yes this is a concept book, one that introduces little ones to all five senses. At the end of the book the author asks children what did Hoppy hear, smell, see, taste and feel. In answering this question it will be necessary to again romp with Hoppy through the text.

Add to all libraries that collect concept books and gift this title to your favorite nursery school teacher.

Overall Book Score: very good
