Written and Illustrated by Max Lang
This is a cute book that students will check out. Jim Panzee is told he has spring fever. He goes looking for a cure when his friends tell him to calm down. Jim does not have what it takes to calm down so he learns to enjoy doing spring things. I like the suggestions for things to calm down and things to do for spring. The illustrations are bright and filled with expression and energy. Looking for the 25 striped eggs hidden in the pages is an additional bonus.
