About this book
A robin's call on a snowy March morning makes Bobby Hill wonder whether spring can really be near. At Cloverfield Farm, changing weather turns his attention from sledding and skating to pussy willows, kite flying and outdoor play. His mother, grandfather and sisters share these small discoveries, while Rover, the shepherd dog, is a companion across the fields.
Helen Fuller Orton builds this children's story around familiar family exchanges and the work of a farm. A homemade kite draws Bobby's eyes toward the clouds, and haymaking brings the excitement of riding high on a loaded wagon with his father and little Betty. The simple dialogue, playful descriptions of the wind and close attention to animals give young readers a picture of country childhood, where chores and amusement often occupy the same afternoon.
