written by Arthur Yorinks, illustrated by Carey Armstrong-Ellis
Book Description
A lyrical, humorous tale of those creatures we love to hate-bees!
These bees are happy! They cause mischief at picnics, in the backyard, and just about everywhere else. Who can resist them when they have such a good time doing it? And here, of course, comes a silly old bear determined to get at their hive for honey. What is he thinking!? Yorinks and Armstrong-Ellis, highly praised for her popular Twelve Days of Kindergarten, have created a silly, poetic, and oh-so-fun look at everyone's favorite garden menace. Included is a bonus CD of ten silly sing-along songs about these buzzy, fuzzy yellow fellows.
AUTHOR BIO: Arthur Yorinks is the author of 25 books for children, including Hey, Al, which won a Caldecott Medal. He divides his time between New York City and Cambridge, New York.
From the critics
“...introduces a swarm of mischievous, jovial insects pursuing all sorts of fun while plaguing humans and animals in the process... The happy-go-lucky insects have loads of personality as they cover the sunny endpapers and frolic through the cheerful pages.” School Library Journal
“Visual slapstick humor abounds in this romping rhyming tribute to bees... Playful and engaging, this volume will get youngsters buzzing.” Publishers Weekly
