Children’s Books About Spring

March 9, 2015 By Megan 4 Comments

This list of spring books for kids is perfect for all children, from babies to preschoolers. These nature-oriented books teach children all about the Spring season and capture their imagination with beautiful illustrations, fun storylines and the magic of the Spring season.

Spring is almost here! Even though we’re still foot deep in snow, the weather on our side of the country is FINALLY starting to warm up a bit and the recent days of sunshine we’ve had have been magical, giving us a glimpse into the not-so-distant spring season approaching. I, for one, cannot wait to open all the windows again (without freezing), hearing the sound of the birds chirping, watching everything turn green again, and warmer weather. When it comes to books, we like to rotate K’s display shelves with seasonal stories. I just finished putting away books about winter, animal tracks and hibernation, and replaced them with children’s books about spring. Planting seeds and seeing a garden grow, watching the magic of thunderstorms, and learning about bears emerge from their dens are all fun spring-time topics for kids that inspire great learning and teaching opportunities. Along with them, you can create some fun activities, like planting a garden, creating homemade bird feeders, helping the bees or making butterfly crafts. We often choose books based on both the story as well as the illustrations, so here is a list of some of our favourite children’s books about spring.

Children’s Books About Spring

 

If You Hold a Seed – Elly MacKay

Elly MacKay is one of my favourite children’s books authors/illustrators. We love all of her books for their magical stories and beautiful artwork. If You Hold a Seed shows the magic that can happen when you plant a dream with a seed – it blossoms into an amazing gift. This list of books is perfect for all children, from babies to preschoolers.

And Then It’s Spring – Julie Fogliano

This is such a cute book about a boy and his dog waiting for the brown to give way and become spring. They dig, plant, play and then wait. This list of spring books for kids is perfect for all children, from babies to preschoolers. These nature-oriented books teach children all about the Spring season and capture their imagination with beautiful illustrations, fun storylines and the magic of the Spring season.

 Waiting out the Storm – Joann Early Macken

Sensing the storm, a mother and her child run into the safety of their home and wait out the storm, keeping warm and cozy inside. Waiting Out the Storm is a great book to go alongside the many rain showers that often accompany the spring season.

It’s Spring – Linda Glaser

It’s Spring is a great book about a child observing the arrival of spring and the changing plants and animals. It also includes some suggestions for nature study projects. Children's Books About Spring

Waiting for Wings – Lois Ehlert

This beautifully illustrated collage book shows butterflies emerging and enchanting the world. Kids can learn all about butterflies – where they come from, how they’re born and turn into butterflies and what they eat. It’s a perfect book to learn about the metamorphosis of butterflies. Lois Ehlert’s other spring-time book, Planting a Rainbow, would also be a good accompaniment. This list of spring books for kids is perfect for all children, from babies to preschoolers.

Baby Bear Sees Blue – Ashley Wolff

This is a book that can appeal even to really young kids. K has loved it since he was really little. This sweet book is all about a baby bear exploring the outside with his mama. Green leaves, blue jays, brown trout and red strawberries – kids can learn all about colours as you read through the book together.

Maple Syrup Season – Ann Purmell

We are BIG maple syrup fans in this house and love to visit a sugar bush each spring to taste the local goodness and stock up. Maple Syrup Season describes a family collecting sap from their trees, boiling it and turning it into maple syrup. It’s a great book to learn about the long process that goes into making syrup and has some wonderful illustrations.

Making Time for Mom

Alone time. What’s that? If you’re a mom, you’re quite possible in the same boat as me. Some days, okay, most days, I feel like my needs come last in the whole scheme of things. From the second our eyes open in the morning, it’s all about the kids. Getting everyone changed and fed, answering 800… [Read More]
