Is This . . . Spring?

When the joys of breathing in spring get hijacked by hacking and sneezing, find a delightful antidote in Helen Yoon's comical ode to a glorious season.

Hooray! It's spring! As one exuberant pup knows, spring means laundry waving on the line, romping in fields of flowers, and gentle, fragrant breezes. But wait . . . What's with the . . . sniff, sniff . . . What's with the . . . Hurk! Haaa. What's with the . . . ah-ah-HACHOOO! Oh no! This is terrible! Is spring . . . ruined? Sharing a few seasonal hacks in more ways than one, Helen Yoon celebrates as only she can: with bumbling affection, good humor, and slack-jawed wonder.
