Buzz Said the Bee

ISBN 059044185x - I've had a dozen or so copies of this book pass through my hands and wind up in the garbage... because they've been read to shreds! Any book that will get that much loving from any kid is worth taking a peek at. Not much of a storyline - a bee sat on a duck, who quacked and sat on a hen, who... well, you'll have to find out on your own who sat on who and what they all said. The storyline, of course, isn't the point. There's plenty of time for storylines, but without reading skills, they'll never get there. Books like Buzz Said the Bee are a nice starting point for little readers. The font is quite large, there is not too much text on any one page, and the text is simple, rhyming and funny. All of that is accompanied by cute and colorful illustrations. The expressions on the animal's faces alone are worth the time it takes to breeze through this title with your young scholar. He or she may memorize it before they can read it, because you're going to read it to them hundreds of times. And you'll enjoy doing it - it's that good.

Cute and easy to read....

Perfect book for someone that is having a hard time reading because this book is easy to read, and funny. I highly recommend this book!! It's too cute!!

My son was on the floor laughing

I got this for my kindergartener to read to me. He was laughing so hard he got the hiccups. Great early reader because there are a lot of repetitive phrases and the story is silly enough to captivate the little ones.

PERFECT First Reader

This was my sons first "I read it all by my self" book. He made me read this everyday over and over until he could imitate me then eventually read it himself. The wording is such that you dont tire of re-reading to your child and it is a quick read so you dont mind re-reading 100x a day. I had my son sign this book and date it (his 6th b-day) for my memory trunk and had such fond memories of it I just ordered another copy for my daughter(age 4).

Great for toddlers!

Our toddler loved the illustrations of the animals . This book can be very interactive for young children allowing them to make all the animal sounds as the book unfolds. I would definitely recommend this book.
