Bookroo's summary

Will spring bring the joy he anticipates, or will his patience be tested further? Discover what little and green surprise awaits him when the season finally changes.

From the publisher

In this Franklin Classic Storybook, our hero is thrilled to learn he’ll be a big brother in the spring. He can hardly wait for the new baby, but spring seems a long time away. Franklin does everything he can to make spring come, but nothing happens. Even the seed he planted at school doesn’t look like it will ever become a plant. Then, one day, spring finally appears and something very special arrives … something little and green and absolutely wonderful!
