Spring is Here: A Bear and Mole Story” by Will Hillenbrand 
 It’s spring! Mole senses the arrival of spring, but Bear is still fast asleep after his lengthy winter slumber. Eager to share the joy, Mole taps on the window and knocks on the door-he even plays a trumpet to rouse his friend for a celebration. Yet, Bear remains in dreamland.

Will Bear awaken? Spring has arrived! Come along in our historical garden and find out what unfolds for Bear. Let’s celebrate the arrival of spring with singing and dancing!
