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.
* I cannot believe that March is here already! February seemed to fly by, even with that extra day this year! I know by me, here in New York, the weather has definitely not been very wintery (so happy about that!) and I've been enjoying our early Spring-like weather. With the beginning of March, I borrowed this book for my daughter, to illustrate the saying "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." This story is told in rhyming text and with the help of colorful drawings show this metaphor. The poor lamb didn't get a very big role in this story, however, the end of the book the point is made. I think it helped to give her a visualization and by the end she understood the saying. However, not a favorite read.
Family Rating: So-so.
