‘The title epitomizes Esbensen’s creative presentation of an important concept: how whales differ from the fish they seem to resemble and share characteristics with other mammals.… An excellent addition to the Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out series.’—K. ‘Introduces a full range of information about whale anatomy, development, and behavior.… Esbensen’s simple, informative text keeps its young audience clearly in view.’—BL.

"A Celebration of Bees" by Barbara Juster Esbensen is a book for parents, teachers, and librarians who want to help children write poetry. A review of this book in The Washington Post said that it is akin to Kenneth Koch's classic book, "Rose, Where Did You Get That Red?", but "focuses even more on the nuts and bolts of the creative process". Barbara is an award-winning author and teacher (i.e. in 2002 the Kerlan Award for lifetime achievement in children's literature). Said Washington Post reviewer Liz Rosenberg: There are enough ideas in this book "to form a poetry curriculum from kindergarten through high school, enough poems by children to make a sizable anthology. Whether it's to be used by teachers, parents or budding poets, 'A Celebration of Bees' is the kind of practical inspiration we all need."

Poet Barbara Juster Esbensen and painter Helen K. Davie reveal the patterns that repeat endlessly in the natural world. The branches of a tree are echoed in jags of lightning, in the veins of a leaf, and the veins of your body. Readers will find connections between hurricanes and galaxies, glaciers and rivers, snowflakes and honeycombs. This book sings the harmony among math, science, language, and art which is at the heart of whole language curricula.
