Wake Up! Wake Up! A Springtime Lift-the-Flap Book

Baby animals enjoy the ups and downs of spring in this cheery board book that features flaps on each spread. A ladybug is the first to wake up come spring (readers can find her perched on the reverse of a leaf-shaped flap). She then awakens a baby bunny, chick, and butterfly ("Wake up! Wake up!... The snow has melted, the sun is shining, and the flowers are blooming") before a sudden shower sends them running for cover. Full of grassy greens, budding flowers, and (mostly) clear skies, Davis's crisp, pastel-colored graphics should whet readers' appetites for warmer weather. Ages 2–4. (Jan.)
