Booklist Reviews

This picture book is a beautiful, lyrical salute to spring. Crisp, vibrant photos align directly with short, simple sentences, which are very effective despite often consisting of just a noun and a verb: "Daffodils dance. Dandelions dot. Forsythia shouts!" The photos include centered close-ups of plants, bugs, and baby animals, so that very young readers will have no problem identifying each subject ("Salamanders emerge. Snakes slither"). There are also photos of young children from diverse backgrounds enjoying spring activities, again with close alignment to the text (pictures of three kids with their noses buried in blossoms accompanies "You can smell that spring is in the air"). Every page offers a new collection of vivid images, each one designed to capture readers' attention. An excellent selection for preschool storytime, due to the visual, written, and auditory reinforcement of each concept. Emerging readers will appreciate the simple sentences, oversize text, and highlighted vocabulary words. No matter what age, this is sure to delight anyone yearning for spring.
