Julie Fogliano's And Then It's SpringRead about another book Gurdon tagged.
Green is what the bespectacled boy in Julie Fogliano's "And Then It's Spring" eagerly hopes to see as he waits for seeds he has planted to sprout from the brown earth. Did birds eat the seeds? Did bears trample them? In Erin E. Stead's finely drawn illustrations, we see the imagined bears lounging in the seedbeds with a sign that reads: "Please do not stomp here—there are seeds and they are trying."
