"Bee in the Barn" assists with language development and cognitive recognition through repetition and rhyming. Listen to what one Teacher of the Year is saying:"What an absolutey adorable book! As a former Kinder and 1st grade teacher, I loved not only the use of rhyme but the five senses and body part embedded components. I can easily see young children pointing to pictures, asking questions and captivated by the adventures of the bee. Your book reminds me of "Brown Bear, Brown Bear," in the simple rhyme and rhythm of the words. Finally, as a teacher of English language learners, phonemic awareness is often lacking for these students and the rhyming patterns are intriguing to students and they love to play rhyming games. I could easily take this book and create many different lessons for it. Thanks again for sharing it with me!" - Joy Weiss, State Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year Nominee
