Synopsis

Instead of hibernating as he should, a little bear cub goes out in search of spring—and he thinks he's found it!

Gloriously illustrated with dioramas and cut-paper collages by the award-winning designer and illustrator Carin Berger, this stunning picture book celebrates the changing of the seasons.

“Maurice’s impatient enthusiasm for warm weather will be all-too-relatable.—New York Times

“Exceptional, exhilarating artwork perfectly suited for a story about anticipation, discovery and joy.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review 

A baby bear cub named Maurice is curious about spring—and he's upset when Mama tells him that before he can experience his first spring, he has to hibernate through his first winter! Mischievous Maurice decides to leave their warm den and go find spring for himself. He asks all his friends for help . . . and finally finds something beautiful and full of magic and light. Spring! He wraps it up and takes it home, determined to show Mama and everyone else. The only problem? When Maurice wakes up, his little piece of spring (a snowball) has melted. This gloriously illustrated book celebrates friendship, curiosity, discovery, and the meaning and beauty of two seasons—winter and spring. Ideal for the classroom, seasonal story times, and bedtime reading.

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

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!
