Spring Has Sprung

Although the temperature outside today is telling me otherwise, the news on the street is that Spring is officially here! And if you could see me right now then you would see that that has put a HUGE smile on my face :)

In honor of the onset of Spring 2009, Google has yet another adorable design today. Not sure why I am so in love with these...but I am. I think they are just so cute and clever. Always enjoy seeing what they come up with.

This one was designed by Eric Carle, the creator of one of my all time favorite children's books..."The Very Hungry Caterpillar". I'm sure you all remember it...the one where the caterpillar munches his way through a variety of different foods (and through the actual pages) before emerging into a beautiful butterfly.

Ahh...Children's books make me happy.

Some other of my own personal favorites that I fell in love with as a child and still remember vividly to this day are:

No Fighting, No Biting












Charlie












Three Little Kittens












The Ugly Duckling












The True Story of The Three Little Pigs (and of course the original Three Little Pigs)












Frosty












Little Miss Sunshine












The Berenstein Bears












Amelia Bedelia












Brer Rabbit and The Tar Baby











Wow that just brought back some great memories. Wonder if my mom still has any of these at home.

Anyways...Happy start to Spring everyone!!
