The Honey Makers

The Honey Makers by Gail Gibbons (ages 4-8)

Did you know that bees and pollinators are responsible for every third bite of food? Yeah, me either.

Nor did I realize how fascinating and orderly a bee colony could be!

The Honey Makers is an informative book with wonderful illustrations.

Busy bees work hard to produce the honey that we and an occasional Pooh Bear love to eat. And each have their own assigned job assigned for each stage of their life.

When I say informative, I mean INFORMATIVE. This book is chock full of information.

For example:
Are you aware of the Bee Dances?
How about Beemilk or Royal Jelly?
Forager bees can visit up to 10,000 flowers a day, but all of the nectar collected throughout her entire lifetime will only produce one teaspoon of honey!

I look at bees in a whole new light after reading up on them more. They are not something to be feared, but respected and shown gratitude.

Luck

Although I don't remember it very often and it is something I need to work on, but I love it when I realize how lucky I can get sometimes. A couple of weeks ago I snagged a classic at the library for my little ones. I couldn't resist. It is a classic. Or at least I think it is. Here is the lucky part. The kiddos started school last week and on Friday my son brings home his first homework assignment. He's in Pre -K. Please work with your children on the following sight words. This will help them have a head start in kindergarten. Thank you so much for your cooperation! go at here down and These same words are all throughout this short and sweet board book. Go and See . It's perfect! I hope to find more of these gems.

Booking Through Thursday - Inspired

If you'd like to join in, click here . "Since 'Inspiration' is (or should) the theme this week … what is your reading inspired by?" My response: Easy.  I love to read.  Books.  Magazines. Blogs.  Newspapers.  Reading is such a fundamental skill. I wasn't always like this. I didn't get much of a chance when I was growing up and didn't develop an interest until later in life.  I hated reading assignments in high school and never finished any of the assigned novels.  I'd skim through to get the "jist" of the story and listen to classmates' reviews just so when it came time for me to write my own report or written exam, I'd at least get a passing grade. Now, with three little ones, just as my blog titles states, "Inspiring Book Worms" is what I'm trying to do.  I hope to instill in them what wasn't passed on to me or what I didn't grasp when I was young. Thankfully I love to read now, they see me reading a lot an
