Meow Monday

You really need to see the artwork to fully appreciate this simple picture book. And since I'm writing this on a monday--it's a perfect pick for today!
Bonnie Bumble lives on a farm, and everyone is happy until the 'pussy' willows all 'burst' into bloom. They make so much noise that the other animals are very upset. After trying several ideas to quiet them, Bonnie remembers the 'milk'weed plant, and that does the trick. Everything is quiet again, until the 'dog'wood blooms. Written by Phyllis Root with illustrations by Helen Craig, this is a fun play on words for young readers.
