Add a CommentFirst the sun wakes the earth then different animals wake one another up. Finally, the parents wake up and take the children out to dance and celebrate spring. Children can join in saying "Wake up" while the story is being read then do a dance at the end of the story.
"'Wake up, old friend, it's Spring!' whispered the sun. And the warmed earth woke up." The earth wakes the earthworm, the earthworm the seed, the seed the ladybug, and so on. Exuberant and bright--my favorite spring-themed picture book after Mary Lyn Ray's 'Mud'.
Great story and wonderul illustrations make this a perfect spring read!
