This rhyming picture book for toddlers follows children as they admire typical spring sights such as the weather, animals, and plants. This book is well-crafted to appeal to toddlers. The language is in the first-person in present tense, which toddlers will be able to follow and involves daily activities and sights that will be familiar to them. The vocabulary is simple and toddlers will know most of the words, and the rhyming text will appeal to toddlers and help increase their language skills. Toddlers will also be drawn to the illustrations, which are drawn with simple lines and shapes and brightly colored. This is one of four books in the "I See" series by Charles Ghingna. Recommended.
