A review by lauriehnatiuk
Almost Time by Elizabeth Stickney, Gary D. Schmidt

4.0

This book will resonate with readers who have difficulty WAITING. Ethan knows with the changing of the seasons it is almost time for sugaring - but how much time does he have to wait? His father gives Ethan things to look for or wait for such as the shorter nights and waiting for his loose tooth to fall out. Finally it is time and we are introduced to sugaring to make maple syrup. This book would pair nicely with @maxwelleatonIII recently released book Bear Goes Sugaring. This book will be a welcome addition to classrooms and libraries for our younger readers who have a hard time with the concept of time and providing real lie examples of what to look to pass the time.
