Time for Spring
Time for Spring | Crockett Johnson
11 posts
Discover another timeless classic from the creator of Harold and the Purple Crayon! This poignant story about a little girl and her snowman was first published in 1957 and has been out of print for decades. Now available in a fully-restored edition with enhanced cover artwork, this storybook makes a delightful springtime gift and is great for Easter baskets too!With more text than the Harold and the Purple Crayon books, Time for Spring is just right for children beginning to read on their own, but the artwork on each spread means even the youngest readers can enjoy it, too. An excellent pick for parents who want to explore themes of patience and friendship with their children, or for anyone who wants to expand their Crockett Johnson library. Pair with Crockett Johnson's Will Spring Be Early? Or Will Spring Be Late? for even more springtime reading fun!Irene is ready for winter to be over, but her snowman is not, and says that as long as he's around, springtime won't come. Can Irene and the snowman find a way to make both their wishes come true?

Even though it says mostly cloudy, there is hardly a cloud out and the sun is shining. Actually sitting on the patio for once and it feels good 🙌🏻

Drove up the driveway to see my boyfriends mother out on the deck reading a book, enjoying the weather. I was actually pretty jealous 😂

Can‘t wait for spring!!

Reviewsbylola I would be jealous too! 5y

Spring in Chicago....

Kaye 👍 NO MORE SNOW ❄️. We had flooding here last night. It literally rained buckets. Never saw that much in my life. We are fine. Up on a hill so our basement gets a little wet but the folks down the hill get flooded out. 6y
MKbookworm @Kaye this weather has been ridiculous! Glad you are ok. Yesterday we went from hail, rain, sleet to snow all accompanied by crazy winds. 6y
Kaye Yep. Today it‘s spitting snow. I‘m sick of it too. Time to shape up. 😡 6y

I'm successfully growing a plant. Woohoo. I should probably put it outside but it love looking at it. It's supposed to be lilies.
I'm reading my next #postlit book.

melyndarae @FlowerFairy @Endowarrior21 @MinDea Thanks!! I killed an aloe vera plant once so it's a definite improvement lol. 6y
MinDea Hahaha. I do not have a green thumb at all either so I totally understand. I have an avocado plant I started from a pit and it is a food and a half tall and I feel oh so accomplished! 6y
melyndarae @MinDea That's awesome! I tried that once and it started to mold. Idk what happened lol. 6y
MinDea Mine just started to grow mold on the pit last week! Overwatering I think 😖 6y

None come to mind.
I don't remember the name but it's a romance novel. Woman travels to England I believe and is transported back in time where she falls in love. So kind of involves travel lol.
We already broke out the grill. So hamburgers!
The book I read for #postlit I can't spoil the title though.

Kaye Gosh it‘d be great to live where you could grill out in March ! 6y
melyndarae Lol. It was cold and windy the night we did. Its 80s today though 6y

It‘s officially spring today! 🌸🌼🌺 It‘s still a little cold outside but I can‘t wait for the weather to warm up a little bit so I could go out and read while breathing some fresh air. 🌳

Or not?

Who wants to go grocery shopping for me? I‘ll pay you. In books. And liquor. And chocolate. And Pickles will lick your face when you deliver said groceries.

😩😩😩😩

Suzze Ugh. I am so glad this passed under Michigan on the way to you. 6y
DGRachel If I could, I would, just for Pickles kisses! Stay safe! 6y
TrishB @DGRachel same 👍🏻 6y

AlaMich Holy cow!!! 😳 Enough with the winter already!! Here in Chicago we‘ve gotten away pretty lightly (although I‘ve probably just jinxed us) but it‘s still pretty cold. Be safe! 6y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Ugh....this is brutal. I‘m Southern European (bloodlines) and I can‘t take this. I actually considered defecting..... under Trump I‘m pretty sure that‘s an appropriate word. 6y
MicheleinPhilly @JanuarieTimewalker13 We considered it too. But it would be to Sweden which wouldn‘t really help weather wise. @AlaMich I prefer cold to heat but this is just excessive. Pretty sure we‘ve had more snow in March than in the rest of winter combined. 6y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Hahahahaha!!! No, it wouldn‘t!! But I bet they don‘t participate in this insane time change. I think the combo of no sun and biorhythms being off is really bad!! I‘m trying to get happier🦋 6y
Robothugs It has begun. 😩 6y
MicheleinPhilly @JanuarieTimewalker13 Oh it‘s much worse. In the summer there‘s only a few hours of darkness and vice versa in winter. We usually visit in the summer and my rhythms are JACKED the whole time we‘re there. Yes, blackout shades and eye masks help, but no one tells the birds to shut up at 2 a.m. Well, I do. 6y
MicheleinPhilly @Robothugs I know. Pickles just looked out the window like “MOM!!!! WTF?????” 6y
Robothugs Someone needs to break out the Jack Skellington song, but maybe tweak the lyrics a bit after “What‘s this?! What‘s this?! There‘s white things in the air...” 6y
LauraBeth That‘s just a dusting for you guys 😂 6y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Oooooh, interesting!! But we still need to ditch the daylight time flip flop thing. It makes no sense nowadays. Wow, come to think of it, I‘d like to visit Sweden in the summer!! Plenty of Vitamin D and with all that energy I could properly stalk Eric Northman....hahahahahaha (edited) 6y
JacqMac A dusting and a light glaze.... this whole thing makes me want cake. Lol I‘m very over winter. 6y
ValerieAndBooks I‘m in the same boat as you 😩, except I don‘t have a sweet dog to keep me company 😊 6y
Purrfectpages And it‘s only gone up by me! 6y
alisiakae Instacart grocery delivery has a 30 day free trial. 😃😃 6y
MicheleinPhilly @4thhouseontheleft I‘ve used Instacart in the past but didn‘t really like it. Prices are higher than in-store and half the time, the shopper would just mark something as “out of stock” rather than look for it. I‘ve used Shop Rite‘s delivery service but I like to pick my own vegetables and meat. #FirstWorldProblems 6y
alisiakae @MicheleinPhilly Where I live, one of the stores uses the same pricing, and I have been lucky with great shoppers overall. But I‘m cancelling it soon because I don‘t use it enough, and I also don‘t buy fresh produce via instacart for the same reasons. I miss Shop Rite. 😩 6y
MicheleinPhilly @4thhouseontheleft The Shop Rite shoppers are GREAT. They call me an hour or so before delivery to tell me if they‘re out of something and run through the substitution options. And their weekly sales apply to deliveries. 6y

The weather was so lovely today that the little one and I decided to go outside for an hour after work/daycare. While he was riding his tricycle in the backyard, mum squeezed in a few pages of her book. 😍 And a round of applause, please: This pumpkin has gone diaper-free all day without any accidents for the first time today. 😊 (Sorry, that's not really book-related but I'm just so proud. 😉)

Lindy 👏👏👏 7y
mom2bugnbee Yes! That's huge! Way to go! 7y

julesG Congratulations! An important milestone for the both of you. 7y
Cinfhen That's HUGE news!!! Wonderful💗 7y
scripturient @Reviewsbylola It was the same here. He turned three two weeks ago and yesterday he all of a sudden said he doesn't want diapers anymore. So don't worry, it will probably happen soon. :) 7y
Reviewsbylola I am still recovering from potty training my 4 year old. And she didn't really get it 100% until 3.5 years old. So I'm just waiting for my younger one to care. 😂 7y
scripturient @Reviewsbylola 😂😂😂 Hang in there! 😊🙌🏻 7y
readinginthedark @Reviewsbylola Mine didn't care at all until I read him this book. He thought that the boy wondering if the potty was a hat was so hilarious! 7y
