Happy Bees! Written by Arthur Yorinks Illustrated by Carey F. Armstrong-Ellis 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 has written and directed for opera, theater, dance, film, and radio and is the author of over thirty-five acclaimed and award-winning books, including Hey, Al, a children’s book, which earned the Caldecott Medal in 1987. In addition to his literary career, he is considered one of the leading figures in the reinvention of audio theater. 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 *Buy this book!
