The listing, POPPLETON IN SPRING~by CYNTHIA RYLANT & WHAT COMES IN SPRING has ended.

Kindergarten-Grade 2-The popular pig returns in a new series of adventures. The three short chapters revolve around familiar rites of spring: cleaning, shopping for a new bicycle, and sleeping in a tent in the backyard. Here, of course, each activity ends with the usual Poppleton twist. His attempts to clear his house of clutter bring more items in; too many choices at the bike shop overwhelm him and he decides he can walk or run about town; and after a wakeful night in the tent, he sleeps all day. The text is just right for beginning readers and the lively illustrations offer plenty of visual clues and a touch of the absurd humor that appeals to this set. An irresistible addition(HARDCOVER!)~~THE OTHER BOOK IS CALLED WHAT COMES IN SPRING~A touching story of a child asking "Mama, what comes in spring?" Mama replies, "Flowers come and leaves on trees and robins come in spring." The child continues to ask question and Mama answers as the story goes on to gently tell how she fell in love, married, and had the child. It moves through each season, and quietly explains the growth and birth of a child. (PAPERBACK)BOTH LIKE NEW
