As Honey Bunny goes into dreamland to discover how to like carrots she and Leni both learn about the bees, how they make honey, and the beautiful flowers. This delightfully illustrated book will keep children enthralled as they dream along with Leni about the bunnies and the bees to see how Baby Bunny changes her mind about carrots. Will this also help Baby Leni love carrots as she dreams about Baby Bunny and the carrots and bees? This book is great for children who are fussy and picky eaters. It is also a great book to introduce young children to the importance of bees to the environment and the food chain. Winner of the prestigious Mom's Choice Award, Bee, Honey Bunny, and Me was written by Lavelle Carlson, a retired speech/language pathologist. Her joy in teaching was to teach early literacy and speech and language skills using storybooks. Upon retirement she has been inspired by her grandchildren to write books about animals and the environment. This story holds a special place in her heart as her granddaughter (2 years at the time of writing the book) was our "bunny whisperer" as she loved to play with the bunnies that came to her yard to be fed. The author also feels that young children can learn early in life the importance of animals and the environment. The added bonus for the author was discovering artist, John D. Moulton, who is a portraitist. He was able to capture the emotions of the characters in his illustrations. His art in Bee, Honey Bunny and Me is reminiscent of Beatrix Potter's art and also love of animals and nature. The book also provides an addendum with information for teaching young children about the plight of both the honeybees and the bumblebees.

Added bonus: Readers can access coloring pages for the book at the website, www.slpstorytellers.com.

Bee, Honey Bunny and Me is a recipient of the prestigious Mom's Choice Award.
