My Kindergarten son brought this home from the school library and I think it is just an adorable book. The illustrations are so cute and the story is charming too. Will spring ever come? is the reoccuring theme. Will spring ever come with black berries and cream? Now it is winter with oatmeal and brown sugar. So many cute little references can't help but leave readers feeling cozy all ready for the comfy bed time tuck in at the end of the book. Curl up with your child reading this on a chlly night and you'll feel warm inside.

We first read a copy of this book from the library to my young granddaughter and I so loved the book and illustrations I actually found myself thinking of them often. Then for this Christmas, my granddaughter at 3 1/2 gave me my own copy. I was so pleased. I am 61 years old and enjoy this book over and over again. When I look outside at the winter, I can lament "will spring ever come" to be answered by my granddaughter "Yes Grammie, spring will come, but now it is winter." and we giggle.

A quiet story full of musical words that reveal the joys a child can experience in winter. Throughout the book, the message flows to celebrate the present and to have patience for the future. The illustrations are whimsical.
