It's April!
~
and while I'm all anticipation for those May flowers,
we have been blanketed with snow, never mind showers!
so... while I'm downing hot chocolate and comfort food,
what keeps me happiest in forced confinement?

What Am I Reading?
~
Thanks for asking...
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!

An intelligent story that comes with an accompanying
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...

Join the Party HERE complete with prizes and games
