Children who anticipate every season from summer to spring will appreciate this homage to the caprices of change. - School Library Journal Masterfully captures that nebulous time when spring feels simultaneously imminent and worlds away. A seasonal triumph. - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Variable vernal weather spurs this high-spirited seasonal offering from Henkes. The titular question turns refrain as answers centered around the natural world playfully highlight early spring's starts and stops. Employing repeated visuals--a cat, a spotted scarf--artwork continually depicts the season's push and pull. - Publishers Weekly (starred review) In a book that's sure to become a seasonal favorite, Henkes uses his signature ink and watercolor illustrations and a rhythmic text to explore the contradictions and hallmarks of spring. The compositions are strong, giving a clear sense of story for group reading, but they're also full of details to notice on repeat readings and lap-sits.

Poetic in the best possible way, this perfectly contained picture book pleasingly captures the joys of a turbulent season. - Horn Book (starred review).
