Float is a charming wordless book by Daniel Miyares. Follow a boy and his paper boat on an adventure on a rainy day. There are instructions for making the boat, too! Loved the yellow rain coat, and the dark clouds. The ending was pretty good, too! ;-)

The seasons arrive at different times across the country. There's a different look, too. In some places there are singing frogs, flowering cactus, insects, or flowers. Spring Across America, by Seymour Simon is full of wonderful pictures about coast to coast, across the plains and up mountains.

Maurice is excited about seeing spring for the first time. His mother tells him they must hibernate first, but he just can't sleep so he goes out looking for spring by himself. What does he find? And is it spring? The illustrations for Finding Spring, by Carin Berger, are a combination of paper and fabric that add a nice touch to Maurice's quest.
