It’s Spring by Samantha Berger and Pamela Chanko, illustrated by Melissa Sweet

With the daffodils blooming in my yard, It’s Spring has been on my mind all week. It’s the perfect book to celebrate spring with your little ones.

Rhyming text and darling illustrations tell the story of the robin singing to the rabbit that spring is here. The rabbit tells the deer, and the news of spring continues among the animals until they finally wake up the bears. Each animal along the way notes another sign of spring — the same signs you may have noticed in your own yard or nearby park.

This is a wonderful board book for toddlers, and it was also printed as a Hello Reader, Level 2, which means it would also be great for the beginning reader in your family. Happy Spring!

Ages 3-7

The Biggest Bed in the World by Lindsay Camp, illustrated by Jonathan Langley

Have you ever woken up with a little foot in your face or stomach? If you answered yes, The Biggest Bed in the World is a must read for you and your children.

Little Ben starts off sleeping in bed with his mom and dad, but as Ben gets bigger, Ben’s dad has trouble sleeping. A bigger bed solves the problem, that is, until Ben’s brother is born. Then they get an even bigger bed and the twins are born.

And after that triplets arrive!

As you can imagine, the bed just can’t handle the crowd. So dad makes the biggest bed in the world and still can’t sleep. Finally, all of the children are put in beds of their own. But dad still can’t sleep because the bed feels too empty.

Langley’s gentle pencil-and-watercolor illustrations bring out the warmth and humor of Camp’s text. This silly story poking fun at the realities of life with young children is sure to please children and parents of all ages.

Ages 3-7
