We have been reading a lot of books on Maple Syrup right now, since it is Sugar Season, and I wanted to share one of our favorites that wasn’t on our scheduled reading list… "Sugaring Time" by Kathryn Lasky.
The kids enjoy the black and white photographs with lots of ‘pony’ pictures. The text is beautifully descriptive and the process is outlined thoroughly. If you are interested in the Maple Syrup process, I highly recommend this book.
We were supposed to have a Sugaring Field Trip today, but it is just too cold so it has been postponed. I will be sharing photos sometime over the next couple weeks when we are able to visit the Sugar Shack.

Thanks for the book recommendation! We’ll have to see if we can find it at the library. It’s not quite sugaring season here in Maine yet (soon!), but we are looking forward to Maine Maple Sunday coming up on March 22nd. It’s a good thing too because we ran out of the syrup we bought last year during the season just the other day. We’ll have to buy an extra quart this year! The boys would enjoy reading about the process before we go visiting the sugar shack in a few weeks.
