South Carolina is weird. There's a joke floating around the internet about all the different seasons "false spring" "second winter" "mud season" "ice week" and that's been true here - but despite it all, the flowers are starting to bloom and the temperatures are starting to consistently creep upward, even if the graph looks a bit bi-polar about it from day to day.
These books were picked out by my coworker.
Something to Crow About
Megan Halsey Lane
ISBN: 0803706987 (library binding)
Randall and Cassie are chicks together in the barnyard, and Cassie is just about perfect. She struts better, she scratches better, she can even find worms better. Poor Randall just wants to find SOMETHING he can be good at. When he finds it, both Cassie and Randall are surprised!
When Spring Comes
Kevin Henkes, illustrated by Laura Dronzek
ISBN: 9780062331397
Sweet vignettes of the colors and sounds and sights and activities (by people and by plants and animals and nature in general) of spring. Really sweet, very good for the center position, because there's no real plot to it, but it just flows gently along through sweet and colorful scenes.
If You're Hoppy
April Pulley Sayre, illustrated by Jackie Urbanovic
ISBN: 9780061566349
Along the rhythm and pattern of the original song, this jubilant book runs through all the various happy and exuberant animals that one could be if one were "hoppy" or "sloppy" or "flappy," from the standard storytime fare to some that are way more exotic or unexpected.
