Notes From Your Bookseller
Ellen Heck's picture book debut is a fun romp through the animal alphabet. A is for Bee is an extraordinarily illustrated look at what animals are called around the world. How is it that "F" is for butterfly and "Y" is for porcupine? You'll have to flip through this incredible gift book to see how everything and everyone are interconnected.
