    I bought this book for my little nephew after having got him the leaf thief and its such a wonderful sequel to that one that teaches about spring. This is such a great series and the artwork is so cute! I hope this author will make other books with this squirrel and bird perhaps maybe for weather. The cover is even so nicely done!

    My daughter and I have been waiting eagerly for this book to come out. We absolutely loved 'The Leaf Thief'. This book has become a bedtime favourite in our house. The characters (Squirrel and Bird) are fantastically portrayed and message of how spring looks like is so beautifully set. Request to Alice Hemming: Please write more books in this series!
