I've discovered my best way to do Monday reading posts is to keep this month long running tally. Here goes for APRIL ~ * Read so far?   Today I had the pleasure of reading Kathryn Ross's children's story, BUGABOO-BEE's BOP It releases tomorrow April 4th with a FB Launch Party 7-9 pm EST and anyone - with children or grands? - is most welcome to attend! ~

audio dramatisation of characters and talented musicians which add to the fun. Beautiful artwork illustrates each page.   The lilting verse makes it memorable to young readers. Extras include bee facts, links, study guides, and more, all suitable for enhanced learning and homeschooling.  Here's a wee taster... ~
