It's time to Spring Forward!  Now, you'll notice that I used an exclamation point in the last sentence.  Don't misunderstand me.  I am NOT excited about losing an hour of sleep.  I'm not a morning person at the best of times, and the beginning of Daylight Saving Time is definitely not the best of times.  But I can't wait to share this list of books about creatures that hop and jump.  They will definitely put a spring in your step -- pun intended.  And, hopefully, they will remind you to spring forward before you go to bed on Saturday night.  Daylight Saving Time officially begins at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 10, 2013.
