The Thing About Spring: 3/7/2015

“The world looks a little different today.”  Mouse said one bright morning.  “It smells different too,” said Bird.  “There are buds on the trees and new colors in the sky, and I feel warm and happy.”  “Me too,”said Mouse.  “Spring is finally here. Hooray.”  

 

Hi this is Betsy from Otto’s, reading the beginning of the children’s picture book, The Thing About Spring.  But not all the woodland animals are happy about Spring.  Rabbit prefers winter. He likes the tracks in the snow that help him find his friends.  He likes making snow bunnies and building snow forts and, throwing snowballs! “The thing about spring,” said Rabbit, “is that when the days get longer, the nights get shorter--and I’m a cranky bunny when I don’t get enough sleep!”  

Little by little the other creatures win Rabbit over to appreciating spring. I don’t need any convincing!  How about you?  Share The Thing About Spring with your little one.  You’ll find it at Otto’s, a booklover’s paradise in the heart of downtown Williamsport.  Open Monday through Friday 9 to 8, Saturday 9 to 6 and Sunday, 1 to 4.
