Busy Spring: Nature Wakes Up

Description

The yard is bright, birds are singing, the bees are buzzing and there are tadpoles in the pond! What is all the commotion about? In each colourful scene, the family discovers a different sign of spring - a bird collecting twigs for its nest, a fox snuggling her cubs, a caterpillar feasting on leaves... After the story, annotated illustrations explain the spring behaviours of various plants and animals. Inspire an appreciation for the natural world in this joyous exploration of spring.
