A
young rabbit named Lucy goes to the house of her neighbor, Miss Mamie. Lucy
goes to help when she sees the gathering of something. Miss Mamie has an
idea of bringing a little Spring inside to brighten the winter day. Together
they plant a bulb into a jar filled with small stones. As winter goes on,
Lucy often checks with Miss Mamie to see if anything is growing yet. They
add more water to their plant and make cut out cookies. They do a piano duet
and thread beads together throughout the winter. In the Spring, a white
narcissus plant blooms.
This is a very endearing story of the relationship
between a young girl
bunny and her elderly neighbor. What child wouldn't like to bring small
stones into a house and make something beautiful and fragrant grow to
brighten those long nights of winter. The brightly colored and simple,
uncluttered pictures will delight young children. They will enjoy seeing
the progression of a bulb to a white flower. It also shows that young
children can learn alot of different things from older people.
This book will delight children of all ages!
