Review:
"Spring is here./ The snow melts./ The earth is fresh./ The grass sprouts." Taro Gomi's picture book about the change of seasons couldn't be simpler. The first spread shows a white calf against a hot-pink background. "Spring is here," it says. In the next spread "The snow melts." And indeed, the once snow-white calf is now spotted black-and-white! Gomi walks toddlers through harvest, more snowfall, and comes full-circle back to spring, only this time "The calf has grown." Publisher's Weekly calls Spring Is Here "the perfect picture book", and now, in its latest ultra-sturdy board-book incarnation, it may last a few more seasons! (Baby to preschool)--Karin Snelson, Amazon.com
Review:
This clever story takes readers throughout the course of a year using a calf as a backdrop. The snow-white animal is introduced on the first page. As the text mentions the melting snows, patches of brown representing the earth appear on its back. As viewers zoom in on the earth, those patches become covered with sprouts of new grass and then blooming flowers, a lush grassy meadow, and storm-tossed fields, until the lamb disappears entirely. It is only with the return of winter, quiet and white, that its outline once again emerges, as a full-grown cow. Gomi's illustrations are elegant in their simplicity. He effectively incorporates touches of color-the tender greens of spring; the blues, black, and grays of a summer tempest; the russet browns of fall; and the whites that herald winter. Children will be captivated by his clever use of human figures and animals in each scene. -School Library Journal, starred review
