Why Do I Sing? is a board book filled with soft watercolor images, painted by Andrea Gabriel, of honeybees, spotted owls, Pacific tree frogs, fin whales, loons. crickets, marmots, red-winged blackbirds, arctic wolves, and meadowlarks. Jennifer Blomgren has written a four-line poem for each vocalist.
"A HONEYBEE flies
with the sun on her wings,
And to tell of her travels,"
she dances and sings.
Entertaining and educational. The poems are fun to read in a sing-song voice and the pictures show kids what real animals look like. No cartoon critters here!
The 6 1/2 by 6 1/2-inch size makes it easy for small hands to grab and hold on. The sturdy board pages hold up well as children learn to turn pages.
