Spring Is In The Air!

If you haven't been able to tell from the high pollen count and the sudden showers, Spring is here! I thought I would celebrate by sharing some of my favorite spring children's books. Whether it's about the changing seasons, spring planting, or the many sights and sounds you will experience outside this time of year, these books are great for sharing with your little ones!
