Flip, Float, Fly: Seeds on the Move

Sing-Along Song

Busy buzz, dizzy fuzz!
Bumble like a bee does!

What's that you hear? From a robin chirping in the morning to a lazy dog snoozing on the kitchen floor, from a squirrel's chitter chat to Daddy's home-at-last footsteps in the evening, everyday sounds can inspire the sweetest melodies.

Vibrant illustrations and a toe-tapping, sing-it-out-loud story are sure to make this a young child's favorite book any time of the day.
