Illustrations, full of life, cleverly portray the essence of Spring's arrival. While the rhyming text describes the many faces of March's lion, energetic illustrations depict them perfectly. A perfect book to use for personification. In this exuberant, rhythmic story, March, personified as a lion, enters a boy's cozy home and leaves a trail of snow flurries and muddy footprints. The boy calmly observes the pouncing, howling, growling lion until in comes the lamb on the crest of a huge sneeze. Illustrations.
