"Stott’s exuberant vocabulary and pattern of short question-and-answer exchanges provide an engaging hook, and watercolor paint and digital ink illustrations create an anthropomorphic cast of nattily attired critters interacting with blossoming landscapes....The bright feel is sure to leave winter-weary readers eager to explore backyards, parks, and gardens as soon as the season turns."
