Mama, Is It Summer Yet?

In this charming book, one little boy can't wait for summer to arrive. He keeps asking, "e;Mama, is it summer yet?"e; Mama responds saying, "e;Not yet,"e; but there are plenty of signs that indicate spring is changing into summer: The earth is soft and there are seeds to plant, birds singing, ducklings in the pond, and pink blossoms blooming. The young boy even wears his bathing suit and carries a beach pail in preparation, but will it ever be summer? The text is a wonderful celebration of the change of seasons and showcases Nikki's images of nature and the joys of family and community.
