Ten frogs jump on a log one after the other until they all fall off.

Fat Frog relaxes in childlike poses, enjoying the sun and the peace and quiet of the swamp. Eyes close as he dozes off for a little nap. Suddenly, his nap is interrupted by a buzzing sound.... Is someone sawing up Fat Frog's favorite log? Is it a bee? Fat Frog does not like the sting of bees! Eyes wide open, Fat Frog now sees the source of this buzzing and the adventure begins! Many years ago, in a little pool of shallow clear chilly water at the base of Mt. Shasta, Rosette saw a tiny green tree frog skimming along the gravel. She gently picked him up and he cuddled in the warmth of her palm. Her love of frogs began. Rosette Hurst is in the process of publishing several other children's short stories.

The purpose of "Bumble Bee" is to foster an environment that encourages parent-child interaction. As the author, I also want to expand the knowledge of every reader. It is my understanding that if a child hears a larger word early in their development they are more likely to grasp an advanced vocabulary as they develop. My goal throughout "Bumble Bee" is to engage all readers, including parents, so that everyone enjoys themselves throughout the book. I have composed an upbeat tempo and expanded vocabulary to accomplish my hopes and desires for this book.

When Paha Sapa, a young Sioux warrior, "counts coup" on General George Armstrong Custer as Custer lies dying on the battlefield at the Little Bighorn, the legendary general's ghost enters him - and his voice will speak to him for the rest of his event-filled life. Seamlessly weaving together the stories of Paha Sapa, Custer, and the American West, Dan Simmons depicts a tumultuous time in the history of both Native and white Americans. Haunted by Custer's ghost, and also by his ability to see into the memories and futures of legendary men like Sioux war-chief Crazy Horse, Paha Sapa's long life is driven by a dramatic vision he experienced as a boy in his people's sacred Black Hills. In August of 1936, a dynamite worker on the massive Mount Rushmore project, Paha Sapa plans to silence his ghost forever and reclaim his people's legacy-on the very day FDR comes to Mount Rushmore to dedicate the face.
