Izzy the Lizzy

by Renee Riva, Steve Bjorkman (Illustrator)

It’s Lunchtime in Bitty Bayou

Izzy, a hungry lizard, is eyeing a small spider who, in turn, is preparing to lunch on a bee trapped in her web. But the itty bitty bee, named Jeb, is not all that interested in becoming the spider’s last meal. Can the courageous bee persuade the others to show a little tenderness?

Your child will delight in this “gently dangerous” tale narrated through lighthearted rhyme. Filled with humorous illustrations of the creepy critters children love, this story demonstrates the power of kindness and the strength of mercy.

My grandson loves Izzy Lizzy. The illustrations are fun and kid friendly. The rhyming text is cute and has a great message.
