Sleepy Bee wakes up to a brand new, beautiful day. She's off to explore and gather pollen from flowers on the yummiest plants, stopping at the blossoms of strawberries, apples, pumpkins, and more, until her tummy is full. Then it's time to snuggle down for the night in her cozy hive. Simple, rhyming text and bright, full page concept pictures (strawberry, apple, pumpkin, etc.) provide an excellent opportunity for babies to hear rhythms and to see colors and shapes.

Martin the dragon is sad. His little wings just aren't strong enough to take him up, up into the sky. He studies all the things he sees flying and floating through the air, like bees, leaves, and clouds. He tries to be just like them..."but what goes up, must come down." With the help of good friends, lots of practice, and a little imagination, maybe, just maybe, what goes up...keeps going up!

El segundo día de febrero, una marmota que se llama Pancha se despierta y
aparta la montaña de nieve que bloquea la puerta de su casa. Su sombra
se alarga por el helado campo. 'Lo que me temía -dijo Pancha-seis
semanas más de invierno. Pero el invierno es lo que menos le preocupa en
estos momentos. Un zorro hambriento le sigue el rastro de muy cerca y
no está dispuesto a esperar a la primavera para comérsela. Cuando la
espabilada Pancha encuentra la manera de burlar al zorro, se da cuenta
que una amistad nueva y poco frecuente (además de los primeros indicios
de la primavera) llega cuando menos se lo espera. (Publisher)
