Mother Earth wakes her daughters (March, April, and May) so they can bring spring time to the world. Instead, they fight, and compete for her attention. (I'm sure this sounds familiar to those with kids, yes)? Will spring ever come? Spring's Sprung, by Lynn Plourde, illustrated by Greg Couch will give you the answer.

There have been gatherings where those of use at the table have made music on our glasses. And Benjamin Franklin figured out a way to spin several at a time with his "glass 'armonica" so one person could play a tune. In Rainy-day Music, by Judith Jensen Hyde and Jason Abbott, a father shows his son how to make music this way one rainy day. A personal observation here ... not just any glass will work, some have sides that are too thick (or maybe that's just me)! The ones in the book look a little thick to make music. Maybe. ;-)
