    Fletcher the fox - Ferdie, in the original British editions - is back in this second adventure, having survived the winter which stripped his favorite tree, in Fletcher and the Falling Leaves. Shocked, during the course of a happy springtime stroll, to see snow in the orchard, the seasonally challenged Fletcher sets off to warn the other residents of the forest, eventually involving a pair of birds, a porcupine, a squirrel, and some rabbits in an ever-widening circle of alarm, until the "snow" is revealed for what it is: blossoms swirling through the air...Although not the equal of the first book, Fletcher and the Springtime Blossoms is still an engaging look at a youngster's alarmed (and rather confused) reaction to the changing seasons. Anyone who has ever seen cherry blossoms in the wind will identify with Fletcher's mistaken idea that he has seen snow, and will revel in the final few spreads, where the beauty of these fallen blossoms is so ably captured in Tiphanie Beeke's artwork. I look forward to the next Fletcher book, Fletcher and the Snowflake Christmas!

    I liked this book because I thought that it was a cute book to read to a classroom around springtime. The plot is engaging because the whole story has the audience believing that it is snow outside according to the fox, but it turns out to be flower petals. I also like this book for the illustrations, because they really enhance the story with giving off the painted effect and several spring colors. Before knowing the fox was really seeing flower petals I related to the story thinking about Maryland and how it snowed in the spring here, which I thought was interesting. The main message of this story is to get children excited about the spring season, and to discuss how during spring, flower petals are everywhere.

    Narrated by Katherine Kellgren. The sweetest take on the Chicken Little story. Kellgren infuses Fletcher with a breathless awe as spring blooms all around him while lilting classical music skips happily underneath.
