Spring!

"A nearly perfect board book in tone and ­content. Bring it on, story hour." —School Library Journal (starred review)

Puddle, puddle, puddle, MUD! Our favorite bald baby celebrates a new season with an adorable friend.

Squish! Squoosh! Squash! It’s raining, but that’s OK, because rain means that spring is here! Baby and a best buddy love to be outside, enjoying the tulips and daffodils, the leaves on the trees, the butterflies and bumblebees. Look, there’s a bunny hopping! And a froggy plopping! Best of all is playing together in the slippery mud . . . oops! Good thing the rain is coming down to clean everyone off! Little fans and big ones alike will skip along with Baby in this salute to the season of everything new.A nearly perfect board book in tone and ­content. Bring it on, story hour.
