Hello, everyone!I've been having fun reading my new book in schools and bookstores. Did you buy your copy of A Bee Named Bea and Other Poems yet?
Beautifully illustrated with original watercolors by artist Virginia J. Rost, these twenty poem-stories feature a host of loveable animals and one precocious little girl, each with some problem or in some kind of predicament. Each poem ends with some cheerful resolution for the character, sometimes in the form of a lesson.
Children in the schools I've visited and readers who've contacted me from places like Boston, Boise, Des Moines, Houston, Omaha and San Francisco have connected to the lively stories of a chameleon who can't change color ("William the Vermilion Chameleon"), a cow who can't stop mooing ("A Cow Named Sue"), a lonely bee that everyone seems afraid of ("A Bee Named Bea"), and a canary who can't sing ("A Canary Named Larry").
The enthusiastic reviews on Amazon.com demonstrate how much young readers and parents enjoy reading the book aloud. The children in your life are sure to love this colorful, joyful book!
