Honey

by David Ezra Stein

David Ezra Stein (Illustrator)

This sweet companion to David Ezra Stein's award-winning Leaves celebrates the joy of savoring something you love.

Bear is ravenous when he wakes up from his winter sleep and has one thing on his mind: honey! Alas, it is too soon for honey, so Bear tries hard to be patient. The world around him is waking up, too, and he soon remembers all the other things he loves, like warm grass, berries, and rain. He's almost content, until, one day, he hears a welcome buzzing sound . . . and finally it is time for Bear to delight in the thing he relishes above all others--and it is as warm, golden, sweet, and good as he remembered.

Originally posted on Creative Madness Mama.I haven't read Leaves yet, but after reading this eBook galley for Honey, I definitely think that going back to read Leaves would be well worth it. This bear is entering his second seasons and he is ready for honey. While the bear waits, he gets to experience all sorts of other things that make spring, summer, and fall ready to wish for again. This is a great little book for many reasons. Encouraging the littlest kiddos to learn about seasons, conservation, animal habitat, and so much more. It appears to be an adorable book and I'd be glad to have it grace our shelves. 

I read a temporary eBook galley via Edelweiss.
