BUZZ

Wong, Janet S. Buzz. Illus. Margaret Chodos-Irvine. Orlando FL: Voyager Books/Harcourt, Inc., 2000.
Wow, I was very suprised at how many things BUZZ! This story begins as a little boy looks out his window at a very busy buzzing bee eating breakfast. As the story progresses he finds things in his everyday life that continue buzzing: his parents alarm clock, his father's shaver, the garage door, his mother grinding coffee. I like that this book uses repition so it will be easy for kids to begin to read. They will recognize the word (BUZZ) and get excited when they can read it on the next page! I also like the illustrations. I think that alot of children can identify with this little boy. They see how busy it is in the mornings before they have to buzz off to school or their parents' buzz off to work.
