Where will all the water go? </i> <p/>The first harbingers of spring can be seen in the forest--as the wet snow begins to melt. The little squirrels Mick, Mack, and Molly can't believe that snow can turn into water. That is, until they discover a floating tree and use it as a raft. <p/>This gentle adventure, told in rhyme, is a wonderful celebration of nature and friendship. <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Iwamura illustrates in subtle earth tones; pale grays gradually turn to soft yellow and a milky green-blue as the stream leads into a tree-lined lake that dwarfs the squirrels' tiny boat...
