Spring Fling: Little Blue Truck's Springtime by Alice Schertle

Little Blue Truck is back and just in time to see what's new!

IT'S A YOO-HOO, SKY-BLUE, SPRING-SING DAY

WHAT DO THEY SEE ALONG THE WAY?

Little Blue Truck is on the road with his best friend Toad, and everywhere they look, Toad and Little Blue see something magically new, in Alice Schertle's latest, a lift-the-flap delight that reveals brand-new farm friends to meet.

Down at the barn, the stall door opens to reveal Mama Sheep's babies--twin white lambkins!

There's a new born calf in the cowshed, and in the sty Mrs. Pig has ten pink piglets. And and what do they see hidden in the clover?

A BUNNY SISTER AND A BUNNY BROTHER

AND ANOTHER... AND ANOTHER!

The birds and crickets are singing. Frogs in the pond are leaping. And Little Blue Truck can't keep from beeping!

Alice Schertle's cheery rhyming Lift-the-Flap book reveals all the spring surprises in her latest Little Blue Truck's Springtime (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2018), a joyful way to introduce tots and preschoolers to the happy renewal of the springtime. Accompanied by his pal Toad, the famous anthropomorphic little farm pickup truck shows youngsters all the new life of spring, from ducklings swimming behind Mother Duck in a line to chicks exiting from their eggs in Mrs. Hen's nest. Schertle's happy rhymes are set off in lovely landscapes pictured by artist Jill McMurray, whose pastel watercolors speak sweetly of springtide.

Other books by this talented pair include the first in series, Little Blue Truck Board Book,, Little Blue Truck Leads the Way, Little Blue Truck's Halloween, and Little Blue Truck's Christmas, all preschool classics. (See reviews here)
