Hello Honeybee Families and Friends!
Thank you so much for sharing your time with us for conferences last week. The Honeybees are growing in leaps and bounds, and it was such a pleasure to celebrate their accomplishments with you. A big thank you to everyone who provided a dish for our lunches on Thursday and Friday, as well. Everything was delicious!
Cat Stories
Last week Allen shared two more cat stories with the Honeybees, both of them true classics. The first wasMillions of Cats by Wanda Gag, a book originally published in 1928. In the story, an old couple decides that they would like to have a cat to love and care for. The old man searches far and wide, and comes across a hillside covered in cats! ASK YOUR HONEYBEE how the old man chose a cat?
The second story Allen read was Puss in Boots, a story written by Charles Perrault over 300 years ago. This version is a translation by Malcolm Arthur and is beautifully illustrated by Fred Marcellino. Puss is a character that is clever and crafty beyond all expectations, a miller’s cat who helps his master become the Marquis of Carabas. ASK YOUR HONEYBEE, "Was Puss’s owner really a rich man? How did Puss convince the king that he was?"
