Review
"Faint, fine markings texture Marcero’s illustrations, which support readers in uncovering spring’s arrival before the book’s protagonists do. The animal characters have distorted proportions and accessories—long, skinny ears and a scarf for Little Bunny—helping to lend the story an appealing air of whimsy appropriate to the season’s caprices." —Publishers Weekly
