We are switching things up again this season! You will be given a set of words and phrases, and you must match books to these phrases in one of three ways.

When: March 1-May 31, 2023

The Phrases:
1. springtime
2. bloom
3. sun shining
4. baby animals
5. eggs
6. tulips
7. jellybeans
8. rainstorm
9. sprout
10. warming
11. spring break
12. raincoat

How to Fill the Prompts:
1. Phrase contains BOTH letters of the author's name (ignore middle initial)
2. Phrase contains the first letter of the title (ignore or include A, An, and The)
3. Phrase is exemplified on the cover (your interpretation)
