Bee Beau’s Music: preschool and early elementary (Back Yard Friends)

Illustration by Mary Lou Beaulieu

       One morning while gathering nectar, Bee Beau Bumblebee hears music. He looks forward to hearing it each morning. But one day the music is gone. He begs Druelda, the fairy butterfly, to make him an instrument that he can play. When she tells him he must find his own kind of music he discovers his music comes from his friends, and Mother Nature in the Back Yard.
