Show Me the Honey by Tish Rabe

Rabe, Tish. Show Me the Honey, illustrated by Christopher Moroney. 48 pgs. Random House, 2010. $3.99. EARLY READER. A simple and sticky adventure based on the PBS Kids show “The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That.” Nick and Sally are eating breakfast, but they are all out of honey. Luckily, the Cat in the Hat shows up with an invitation to Queen Buzzoo’s bee party. The only catch is you have to be a bee. Call in Thing One and Two, and when they are through everyone is striped like a bee and ready to dance at the beehive. Sally and Nick learn how to make honey by sucking nectar from flowers and spitting it into the combs to dry. As a parting gift, Queen Buzzoo gave Nick and Sally jars of sweet, sticky honey. The illustrations are colorful and Dr. Seuss-like. EL – ADVISABLE. Samantha, Public Librarian.
