I don't know about you but I am soooo ready for spring! Too much snow, slushy streets and gray skies! These three books really lifted my spirits and I hope they lift yours, too.Easter Bunny Blues by Carol Wallace is an Easy Reader chapter book, meant for those children just learning to read (approximately first thru early third grades). The Easter Bunny has the flu and Petey and Old Jack are determined that children will still get their Easter baskets. All the animals on and around the farm contribute time and resources to create the baskets. Cooperation is the theme here (along with a little springtime magic!)
Rhyming Dust Bunnies by Jan Thomas is hysterical! Large, brightly colored dust bunnies have fun rhyming words, except for Bob. For some reason, he just doesn't seem to be into rhyming words. Bob saves the dust bunnies once but....read this picture book! Hey, that reminds me that spring cleaning is around the corner...poor dust bunnies!
Fletcher and the Springtime Blossoms by Julia Rawlinson tells the story of our old friend Fletcher the fox as he becomes alarmed by the appearance of what he thinks is snow. Fletcher rushes to his friends who have just migrated or have just come out of hibernation to alert them to the situation. They all hurry down to play in the snow but find spring blossoms drifting down from the trees instead. Tiphanie Beeke's beautiful illustrations fill each page and will have you hungering for spring flowers and gentle breezes!
