The yard is bright, birds are singing, the bees are buzzing and there are tadpoles in the pond! What is all the commotion about?

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.
