This is the bee that stopped on a tree in Enzos splendid gardens. . . . And thats how this rollicking adventure from Patricia Polacco begins. A boy drops his book when he takes a good look at that very bee. Then a waiter, whod just turned around, trips on the book and tips his tray--otherwise hed have had a good day! Before you know it, the ladies have spilled their tea; chef Enzo has toppled the spaghetti, chasing his cat, whose name is Lettie. Dishes are hitting the floor; patrons are dashing out the door. Oh, if it werent for that mischievous bee, there in Enzos splendid garden! In this amusing romp, author-artist Patricia Polacco introduces us to her husband, Enzo, who cooks the best spaghetti in Oakland, California (at least when hes not chasing the cat). A whimsical cumulative tale that is a treat to read aloud. Follow the trail of mishaps that happen--all because of a silly old bee!
