Happy first day of spring!  Hooray it’s finally here.  I’ve chosen some of our favorite books about spring for you to share with your petites.

And Then It’s Spring (Booklist Editor’s Choice. Books for Youth (Awards)) this book is gorgeous.  I love everything about it.  The story is all about how being patient for spring to finally arrive.  They plant seeds and wait and wait till they grow.  Erin E. Stead does such a lovely job with the illustrations.

Planting a Rainbow – you cannot go wrong with this vibrant classic.  My girls love looking at all of the flowers and even have chosen to plant some of the plants from this book in their garden.  Perfect book for budding gardeners.

 Fletcher and the Springtime Blossoms – I just had the chance to read this book and it is so sweet.  I love the illustrations that Tiphanie Beeke has created, they are so lovely.  Fletcher is a lovely little fox who loves everything about spring even the unexpected surprises.

 The Little Duck (Pictureback(R)) – this is a book that is a classic, I am sure you might remember having these adorable books when you were a child.

Board Books

Bear Wants More (The Bear Books) – I am a huge fan of all of the Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman bear books they are wonderfully illustrated and written.

It’s Spring! is such a fun book about a charming little rabbit that is thrilled spring has finally arrived.

Baby Loves Spring!: A Karen Katz Lift-the-Flap Book (Karen Katz Lift-the-Flap Books) my kids love the lift the flap books, especially these cute ones.
