Oh my gosh! I loved reading about Mick, Mack, and Molly's springtime adventure! This is the perfect book to read with little ones during spring! These young squirrels are endearingly inquisitive and eager to learn! I truly enjoyed the artwork and the dialogue was perfect! This entire book captured the beauty of new life in the spring! I definitely want to read all of their seasonal adventures during story time at the library!

Join the cutest squirrel trio whose names are Mick, Mack, and Molly while they explore and adventure when Spring brings. This is the perfect book for a morning basket or to add to your shelf to read all spring long.

Thank you NetGalley and North South Books for the opportunity to receive and read this cute read aloud book.

A very cute book. Simple in its approach, and I like how the three of them worked together. The illustrations were soft, but with a lot of brown, it didn't quite feel like spring in some ways. Still, I think young ones would enjoy this.

Spring is a wonderful time for new discoveries as Mick. Mack and Molly climb the cherry tree, and learn what caterpillars, bees, and baby birds find delicious to eat. The squirrel siblings could not be cuter as they explore the changes in their world with the new season. This book is a reissue with a timeless, not dated feel with gently colored illustrations which make it a good choice for a school library, the children’s section of a public library, or a gift for a child to share with grandparents or other caretakers.

This book is beautifully illustrated. The pictures had me dreaming of a warm, spring day. The book was endearing, but I noticed a mistake or two and the story was very simple. Nevertheless, my children and I did enjoy reading it together.

I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.

This is a short story about three young squirrels that are excited to leave their nest at the start of spring. They happen upon a baby bird that looks hungry and try to figure out what it would want to eat. But they do not know what baby birds eat until Mama Bird comes back with a worm for her baby.

The story telling had a very "See Spot Run" feel to it. Fairly basic sentence structure with a repetitive feel, so probably a good book for a new reader. There were a few complex words, but not many.

The illustrations had a soft, almost water color feel to them. But they gave me more of an autumn vibe than a spring vibe, with lots of orange and yellow rather than green. The details of the adventure were cute though.

I could probably read this book a few times without wanting to rip my hair out. Overall I give it 3.7 out of 5 stars.

Thank you NetGalley and NorthSouth Books Inc. for a copy of "Hooray for Spring!" in exchange for my honest review.

This book has cute illustrations that will appeal to young children. Mick, Mack and Molly are squirrels who are happy for spring. They see all of nature coming back to life - caterpillars and bees are everywhere. They find a baby bird, who they think is lost and they want to feed him. They try pinecones, sweet cherry blossoms, acorns, raspberries, mushrooms, walnuts and milk but the baby bird doesn't want any of them. Soon the mama bird arrives back with a worm and the baby bird happily eats that.

Three adorable little squirrel siblings are excited because spring has finally arrived. Off they scoot to observe and enjoy the new season. They discover a caterpillar eating leaves and bees sucking nectar from cherry blossoms. They encounter a baby bird that is alone and hungry. What food can they offer to appease that wee one's hunger?

Mick, Mack, and Molly are adorable, concerned and caring little squirrels. When the baby bird's mommy swoops in she brings with her the perfect food for her baby. The trio are surprised to learn what little birds eat. They then head home to share their spring adventure with their parents.

This delightful book celebrates the season of spring and all the new exciting things that transpire when it arrives. The illustrations are gentle and soft and the colour pallet is perfect. This book is wonderful for beginning readers to enjoy all on their own. I love the book and highly recommend it.

Utterly charming picture book on the joys of Spring. Here the illustrations are what really sells the story. The illustrations are soft and sweet which matches the tone of the book. Positively delightful!

So, this one was really short and sweet. It is a cute little story for the kids when spring comes around. They get to experience the awakening of life during this time through the adventures with Mick, Molly, and Mack. These three adorable squirrels will entertain and enamor small little kids, especially toddlers and pre-k aged kids. Also, the sentence structure here is great for those early readers with the added benefit of getting to spend time with this trio.

Super cute and adorable book that follows 3 young squirrels who encounter a baby bird on their day out. The illustrations and so lush and gorgeous that you feel like you are in the woods surrounded by nature yourself. I also love the mentions of cherry blossoms as they rarely come up in books. Wish there was more meat to the story, but this book would be ideal for kids.
