Spring starts March 20. I have just a couple of books for that. :-)

When the Wind Blows is the story of a windy spring day and a special walk with Grandmother, her grandson and their dog. Read this book out loud and enjoy the sounds of the words while you look at the pictures. As with When the Snow Falls, this book was written by Linda Booth Sweeney and illustrated by Jana Christy.

I read Silent Spring a very long time ago. (I refuse to say just how long) ;-) I was most impressed (and shocked, dismayed, etc.) So, when I found this nice little biography of the author, I thought it was just too good to pass up. (It was). Rachel Carson and Her Book That Changed the World, by Laurie Lawlor, illustrated by Laura Beringessner was an informative read, even for an adult. Naturally Silent Spring was not well received by the chemical companies (what 'til you read what they said about her), but better minds prevailed, thank goodness. Worth a look!
