Review

Beautiful full color photographs show close ups of crocuses, spring green new leaves, a bird's nest, snowdrops, tree frogs, and other signs of spring. Happy multiracial children look right into the camera and show the joys of spring including holding baby animals and smelling flowers. Each spread is a splash of color with sights of the season. Teachers and parents may use the book to introduce the season to preschoolers and kindergarteners and to get them discussing what they see and enjoy around them in the spring. The text is brief and is secondary to the photos. "Birds return with song, busy building nests and laying eggs." This is not a scientific introduction to the season but rather a look at the joys of the season.

Overall Book Score: very good
