Publisher Description
Adorable animal friends share their favorite ways to welcome spring in this sweet picture book from the New York Times bestselling creator of the Coco and Bear series, Ruby’s Tools for Making Friends, and Almost Always Best, Best Friends.
On the first beautiful morning of spring, Bunny goes on a walk. She encounters Little Cow and Little Pig and asks, “How do you welcome spring?” Her friends share that they welcome spring by making flower crowns and ask her to join them.
As Bunny continues on, she meets new friends and joins in their different activities like dancing in puddles, eating strawberries, and making sailboats. Her friends finally ask, “How do you welcome spring, Bunny?” And she answers her favorite way to welcome spring is by playing with all her friends!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Curiosity and good cheer buoy this bursting-with-blooms outing in which a young rabbit, rejoicing at the change of season, inquires how other animals greet spring's arrival. At each stop, Bunny and pals partake in an activity while acclaiming "Hooray for spring!" Piggy offers Bunny a festive handmade flower crown, an eastern-bluebird-like avian called Robin chases butterflies, and Otter and the Ducklings, attired in waterproof garb, invite Bunny to join in mud jumping and splashing. Stott's exuberant vocabulary and pattern of short question-and-answer exchanges provide an engaging hook, and watercolor paint and digital ink illustrations create an anthropomorphic cast of nattily attired critters interacting with blossoming landscapes into which small creatures are tucked across every spread. The bright feel is sure to leave winter-weary readers eager to explore backyards, parks, and gardens as soon as the season turns. Ages 4–8.
