You Don’t Pat a Bee

Inspired by the sayings of her grandchildren and other young friends, Thelma Kerns has written a catchy book filled with phrases of advice for active young children. Illustrators Bryant and Karen Owens conducted extensive research to render the many different animals who star in the book. Children will love the bright, colorful illustrations and the rhythmic flow of the text. Don’t forget that “you can leap like a frog, you can shoe a horse, but you don’t wrestle an alligator!”
