The Very Greedy Bee

In the spirit of spring, I decided to research some books about bugs. Ivy just loved The Very Greedy Bee by Steve Smallman. A greedy bee finds a field of delicious flowers and decides to keep it all to himself. Once he has eaten himself into a nectar coma, he falls asleep. He awakens to find himself alone in a strange place unable to walk due to his increased girth. With the help of some friendly fireflies and amicable ants, he is able to get home. Will friendship over come his greed? Find out in this adorably illustrated book.

Penny and Her Marble

Hot off the presses- Kevin Henkes's Penny and Her Marble. I immediately ordered this from the library, and we've already read it many times. The irrepressible mouseling, Penny, is back. She and her doll, Rose, are out on a walk near Mrs. Goodwin's house when they discover a lovely blue marble. Penny slips it into her pocket and dashes home only to be confronted by guilt. Will her conscience get the best of her?
