One book for winter and another for spring was on the agenda this time mirroring the weather.

Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!
4 stars
Author: Candace Fleming
Illustrator: G. Brian Karas
Spring is time for gardening. Mr. McGreely plans to grow one this year. He dreams of fresh produce. Then three bunnies decide to help eat the garden produce. The war is on!
This book is full of fun words to say out loud. The ending is a surprise and fun too.
The illustrations look like simple pencil and colored pencil drawings, very appropriate to the story. They have a childlike quality to them. And they are not simple drawings at all.

Trouble with Trolls
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Jan Brett
A family of trolls living underground on Mount Baldy have decided they want a dog.
Treva and her dog Tuffi are going over Mount Baldy to visit her cousin. She must outwit the trolls or lose her dog.
The illustrations are superb. As with other books by this author, watch the extra drawings this time below the main ones. Especially watch for the hedgehog.
