(4) K-3 Bank Street Ready-to-Read series. Illustrated by S. D. Schindler. As the sounds of spring fill the air, a hibernating bear continues to slumber. Finally, a buzzing bee awakens the bear, and he lumbers off in search of honey. The repetitive, onomatopoeic text makes this book well suited for independent reading and reading aloud. Dull illustrations depict the animals named in the story.
