The Hannukkah unit is definitely a favorite.             Brilliant Bees Linda Glaser Millbrook Press, 2003 Simple text and illustrations describe the physical characteristics, habits, and life cycle of the honey bee.             It's Spring2 reviews Linda Glaser Millbrook Press, 2002 Excellent book!

(Sagebrush))1 review Linda Glaser Topeka Bindery, 2003 Forgettable This works well enough, if you're trying to teach a seasonal theme.
