Review quotes

Like a bird or flower identification book, this field guide notes the features of the season. The author encourages children to make nature their friend by being curious, creative, and kind... The book encourage use of the senses and note opportunities for readers to learn something, notice their feelings while in nature, or just be part of it all. The bulk of the book focuses on signs of spring and where to find them... Several poems will tickle readers' ears [and] lots of activities are sprinkled throughout... Brouwers' realistic, watercolor-esque illustrations are rendered in light blues, greens, and yellows... An ode to spring that will have readers getting out in nature.— "Kirkus Reviews" (4/1/2024 12:00:00 AM)
