Starting and ending with a bird "poking / a tiny hole / through the edge of winter" on the vernal equinox, readers can feel the taste, sights, sounds and smells of the four seasons through experiences of a small girl interacting with nature.
by Irene Latham
Cucumber submarines, blueberry fireworks, potatoes as "Crooked as / a "come here" / finger.", and mouse-sized okra swords. A bountiful farmers market feast awaits readers.

A Great Big Cuddle: Poems for the Very Young
by Michael Rosen
Nonsense words, silly sounds, and bouncy rhymes that beg to be read aloud and danced to, are what makes this new poetry book for the preschool set so fun.
by Judith Viorst
Daily joys, annoyances, hopes, and fears are brought to life through witty poems and the humorous illustrations of Lee White. My favorite, "Places I'd Like If..." explores the places a kid would like to visit if it weren't for all the scary stuff that can happen. "How soft and rainy woodland feels, / If bears did not eat kids for meals, / I'd like forests."
