A fresh take on a familiar saying, perfect for the first rainy days of spring.
Rattling windows with the roar of a late-winter storm, March shows up like a lion-- wild and messy, muddy and wet. In rhythmic, exuberant text, Newbery Honor-author Marion Dane Bauer conveys the changeable nature of spring weather, as the lion makes way for the lamb-with a huge sneeze!-as the trees and flowers spring into bloom.
Full of humor and motion, Caldecott-winning illustrator Emily Arnold McCully's soft watercolors bring the blustering lion and gentle lamb to life. From hail and wet snow to vibrant green fields full of blossoms, the illustrations grow brighter, springing into new life-and hinting and the summer to come.
The lively text and paintings illustrate the ways in which we personify spring weather, making this book a perfect introduction to figurative language-and lots of fun to read as well.
