by Angela V Spring is finally here! And even though some places in Canada still have lots of snow, we are thankfully finally seeing more green, flowers, and birds around in Vancouver. Hoping the rest of the country follows and we can all enjoy the beauty of Spring.

5 NEW Spring Book Recommendations For Your Kid’s Home Library {Giveaway}
- My Book of Rocks and Minerals: A children’s visual reference that explains what rocks and minerals are, how they form, and how they’re used, and even highlights record breakers and amazing facts.My Book of Rocks and Minerals is filled with fascinating facts about and amazing images of rocks, minerals, gems, and fossils from the deepest caves to outer space. Features introduce different categories, from crystals to glow-in-the-dark minerals, and illuminating images provide a closer look and show amazing geological formations. Kids can take their fascination even one step further and use the catalog and activity pages to help them collect and group rocks and discover how different rock types fit into the world around them. — Both my boys have a little collection of rocks and gems they love going through the book to find out what they have. Lots of stunning pictures and easy to understand explanations on what minerals are, where to find gems, how to create a collection and more!
- What’s Weird on Earth: Geography, history, STEM concepts, sociology, reading, technology, and more come together in this exciting and educational atlas that presents the world’s weirdest facts visually on maps. See hidden underground waterways and ancient patterns carved in desert sand. Learn how 29,000 rubber duckies helped scientists trace ocean currents after a shipwreck.

Planet Earth will never seem the same again. — The perfect book for curious little minds, so many interesting facts to learn. My 7-year-old son loves to read this book.
- What’s that Bird?: Is that a purple martin or a blue jay? Perfect for beginning birders, What’s That Bird? is an indispensable pocket guide that includes full-color photographs and illustrations of more than 150 common birds, and instructs bird watchers how to identify different birds and how to tell them apart. — This book came at the perfect time for us.

Now they can check the “What’s that Bird?” book when they want to know more about the birds stopping by.
- I Can Grow a Flower: Teach your child how a tiny seed grows into a flower in this fascinating lift-the-flap garden story. A pullout height chart ends the book–a great way for children to remember how a sunflower grows, and to measure how fast your child grows, too! Through illustrations, photography, and flaps, sixteen delightful board book pages reveal the wonder of how plants grow as you follow the story of a mystery seed. How was it planted? What does it need? What will it become? — Our 4-year-old loves flap books and he enjoys reading this book. The colourful explanations are great for his age group and capture his attention fully.
