Arthur Yorinks is a playwright, director, and author of more than thirty-five picture books for children, including the Caldecott Medalwinning Hey, Al, illustrated by Richard Egielski. The background images, like the park, Is especially well done I like how the illustrator shaped the grass and sky on several of the pages very visually impressive. The art and characters look very well done the character expressions are very detailed as well as the appearance of the bees themselves. What I find funny about this book is that I cant tell if the author loves or hates bees due, to the obvious discomfort of the people in the story in contrast to the bees abundant happiness. The bees have gotten all over the place at the park and people and animals alike are caught in their merriment. This books cover a very active hive of bees, playing games, having fun all the while getting into various forms of mischief.

Yet there is a period in the middle of these two wars that is often overlooked, and this is precisely where Alan Taylor situates his new Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Internal Enemy. Discussions of slavery’s contradictions with the freedoms declared during the American Revolution and the founding fathers’ musings on the subject interest historians of the colonial and revolutionary periods, while the later, more divisive nature of slavery preoccupies Civil War and nineteenth-century historians. Since the founding of the first British colonies, slavery has been at the core of US history.
