The opening volume in a four-part series meant to introduce the seasons to students in grades 3-5, Spring kicks off with an explanation of how the earth's orbit causes the seasons, together with the resulting changes in nature. Two seasonal "clocks"--weather and calendar--are discussed, and viewers will discover how changes in the weather that produce showers and warmer days herald the transition from winter to spring, as well as learn about the increasing hours of daylight and the vernal equinox. Combining well illustrated graphics with close up, live action nature cinematography (including time lapse photography), this solid overview is recommended. Three other titles are also available in the series (series price: $340): Summer, Autumn and Fall. Aud: E, I. (L. Stevens)
