It’s finally spring! Here in the Northeast, the days are already feeling longer, the tulips and daffodils are starting to poke out from under the receding snow, and the weather is slowly but surely getting warmer. Returning song birds, eggs hatching, tree leaves budding, and baby bunnies are all signs to me that spring is has come again. After a good old fashioned New England winter packed with snowstorms and ice, it certainly feels welcome. So let’s welcome in spring with a few of our favorite picture book characters…bunnies! Can you name the illustrator behind each of these popular long-eared pals?
Put your guesses in the comments below (book titles are okay, too, if you can’t remember the artist!) and I’ll put the answers in the comments on Friday if you want to check back and see how you did. Good luck and Happy Spring!
