Spring is in the air, but Bear is still in deep slumber. Mole, eager to celebrate, tries tapping, knocking, and even playing a trumpet to wake his friend. When Bear remains asleep, Mole concocts a special springtime surprise. Will this be the perfect wake-up call? Join Mole in this charming tale of friendship and determination, filled with delightful sounds and cozy illustrations. Discover if Mole's efforts will finally rouse Bear from his winter nap and bring them together to welcome the new season.

From the publisher

Mole can smell that spring is in the air, but Bear is still asleep after his long winter nap! Excitedly he taps on the window and knocks on the door– he even tries playing a trumpet to wake his friend so they can celebrate together. But Bear keeps snoozing. But Mole is determined, so he milks and gathers and bakes a special springtime surprise for his friend– the perfect way to wake up! A perfect read-aloud, full of simple sound-words and lots of repetition, Spring is Here is ideal to share with young readers to celebrate the changing of the seasons. Cozy mixed-media illustrations of big, fuzzy, dozing bear and his eager mole friend add detail and humor to the tale. Don’t miss the other Bear and Mole adventures– First Star, All For a Dime, Off We Go!, and Kite Day.
