A Buzz Is Part of a Bee

[Here we are again... this is nice little book and I am totally surprised that it is so hard to get. ] "A Buzz is Part of a Bee" is simply delightful. It is the kind of book that gets children's imaginations going. It is the kind of book where the fun doesn't end just because you are done reading it. A leaf is part of a tree. A wheel is part of a skate. A thorn is part of a rose. An elbow is part of an arm. A pit is part of a peach. The above are some of the `part of' examples from the book, but if your children are like mine they won't stop finding things that are `a part of' other things for days and days. And what more can you desire of a book than it is fun .AND. thought provoking. And while the artwork is not fantastic, it will probably look somewhat familiar in that Tom Dunnington has done regular work for the "Highlights for Children" magazine. Regarding reading level-- some words that are used are: beach, bubble, caboose, cane, fish, handle, latch, nose, peach, shadow, skate, tail, tree, wheel. They are all used in simple sentences such as: "A barn is part of a farm". Four Stars (and possible even more). It is a good book to get children thinking and we have had alot of fun with it.
