Summary: Describes in verse the lion that is March weather, which finally gives way to the lamb of spring.                         

Target Audience: Preschool.                                                          

 

 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. 

Rylee Recommends For February:

Summary: Peter is delighted with the deep snow and plays 

outdoors all day.            

The magic and wonder of winter's  first snowfall is perfectly captured in Ezra Jack Keat's Caldecott  Medal-winning picture book. This celebrated classic has been shared by  generations of readers and listeners, a must-have for every child's  bookshelf and a perfect gift for the holiday season.
 

New York Public Library's #1 book on the list of "Top Check Outs of All Time"
 

In 1962, a little boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out  of his house and into the hearts of millions of readers. Universal in  its appeal, this story beautifully depicts a child's wonder at a new  world, and the hope of capturing and keeping that wonder forever. The  quiet fun and sweetness of Peter's small adventures in the deep, deep  snow is perfect for reading together on a cozy winter day.
 

Ezra Jack Keats was also the creator of such classics as Goggles, A Letter to Amy, Pet Show!, Peter's Chair, and A Whistle for Willie.
 

Praise for The Snowy Day:
"Keats made Peter's world so inviting that it beckons us. Perhaps the  busyness of daily life in the 21st century makes us appreciate Peter  even more--a kid who has the luxury of a whole day to just be outside, surrounded by snow that's begging to be enjoyed." --The Atlantic
 

"Ezra Jack Keats's classic The Snowy Day,  winner of the 1963 Caldecott Medal, pays homage to the wonder and pure  pleasure a child experiences when the world is blanketed in snow."--Publisher's Weekly
