Description

Spring, Spring,
spring!
Spring is all a little bear
named Maurice
can think about.
Where is it?
What is it?
When will it arrive?
Impatient and curious
and not at all sleepy,
Maurice sets out . . .
But before Maurice
finds spring, he discovers
something magical indeed—
winter!

Reviews

"Multidimensional and magical . . . Exceptional, exhilarating artwork perfectly suited for a story about anticipation, discovery and joy." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

"The balletic grace of Berger's artwork provides exceptional visual drama throughout." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Maurice's impatient enthusiasm for warm weather will be all-too-relatable for readers in colder climates. But it's the meticulous, delicately textured cut-paper collages by Berger, which so elegantly incorporate random bits of printed matter and ephemera, that make this a book worth lingering over." -- New York Times

"Breathtaking . . . The beauty Maurice found is there for all to see." -- Horn Book Magazine

"With Berger's gentle storytelling and warm, joyful art, this is a winning entry into spring-themed picture books." -- School Library Journal

"Chock-full of visual cues and information, this is a charming exploration of seasonal changes." -- Booklist

"Beautiful collage illustrations help tell the story of one little bear's exuberant search for spring--even though he should be hibernating. . . . A sweet ending helps readers celebrate the changing of the seasons." -- Shelf Awareness

"Berger's storytelling is . . . streamlined to maximize the drama of Maurice's first sightings of both winter and spring. Elegant illustrations . . . skillfully evoke the wonder of nature, and the craft will draw extended study from artistically minded youngsters." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Praise for Forever Friends: "A lovely window onto the seasonal round." -- The Horn Book

"Sophisticated, sensitive and accessible, this picture book will offer new insights and pleasures with each season." -- Kirkus Reviews
