Busy Spring is a wonderful story about the arrival of spring. The story follows two young girls and their father throughout their yard in search of signs that it’s spring so that their father can plant carrots in their home garden.
The artwork is beautiful! There were several pages explaining pollination, animal migration, and how plants and animals hibernate and grow between winter into spring. There were further resources at the end of the story for kids to check out online. There were also activity prompts for children to help animals during the shifting season of spring arriving early due to climate change. A very great ways for kids to be a part of the solution on climate change.
This book was fantastic! I would highly recommend this entertaining and informative read for the whole family, classroom, or library. I think this would especially appeal to homeschooling parents.

Oh, this is such a lovely book! It’s more of non-fiction teaching kids about the spring season, but there’s a little story that adds to the allure. The back pages have a lot of information with beautiful illustrations to explain the changes spring brings to the environment around us.
The book is lighthearted but not something we’d read once and set aside. It can be used as an introduction to seasons and the importance of taking care of nature. Take the book to a park or a garden and combine practical experience with reading. Kids would love it for sure.
To sum up, Busy Spring is a happy, cheerful, bright, and informative book for the little ones. Reading this one did make my day better.

A very cute book about all the things a young girl can find around the yard while gardening with her father in the spring. I love the art style which is semi-realistic to give a scientific feel to the plants and animals in the garden. I also liked all of the informative bits at the end about how to make your garden more eco friendly with bird houses, etc.

I loved this delightfully wonderful book! Go pick this up now for your children and students. There is so much in this book. The pictures are great and it is filled with such fun and even information pages at the end. If you love spring and all the animals and plants that come along with it then this is the book for you.

This book would be perfect for my gardening/allotmenting mad toddler. I will definitely be purchasing when it's out.
It's a book about the garden waking up in spring. Two little girls and their Dad explore the garden and make all sorts of little discoveries, from tiny little creatures, to foxes, to tadpoles. Finding that there's something to see and alive in every nook and cranny of the garden.
I thought the last few pages were an interesting addition, a sort of mini nature book, explaining spring, wildlife and. with tips on how you can help life thrive in your own garden.
Beautiful, calming illustrations, with plenty of detail but still keeping it interesting for children.

I loved this books. The illustrations are so beautiful, and the characters and all the nature information were really cute and interesting. It had quite a bit of text so I'd recommend it for children older than 6.
