Maple Syrup from the Sugarhouse

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kathryn Mitter. Kelsey is excited for sap run season. She assists her dad through the harvesting process; the event requires a lot of waiting, but the story makes it feel like a days-long party with many helpers. The writing can be syrupy ("singing their ting-a-ling drip, drop song"), but in the eye-catching illustrations, bright winter clothes pop against soft, snowy forest backgrounds. Additional facts appended.
