Synopsis
From the bestselling author of the Library Mouse series comes a charming story about the changing seasons Mouse, Bird, Bear, and Rabbit are friends. Though Mouse, Bird, and Bear love winter, they're all excited that spring is finally here. But not Rabbit. He thinks that spring can only spell trouble: He won't be able to make snow bunnies, the days are too long, and it rains all the time. Rabbit's list goes on and on. But his friends can always counter his complaints with something good that spring brings: warm days, lots of good food, blooming flowers--until Rabbit admits that spring is full of pleasant surprises. The book includes punch-out finger puppets that will add value to this sweet eight-by-eight paperback.
Synopsis
Spring is in the air! Bear, Bird, and Mouse are all excited that winter snows are melting away, but their friend Rabbit is not. There are too many things about winter that Rabbit adores, and spring just seems to spell trouble. His friends offer an abundance of reasons to love spring and the changing seasons, but will Rabbit listen?
Daniel Kirk has written a lively and humorous tale with the gentle message that change can be fun.
