This book is about a little rabbit that yawns without covering his mouth and a bumble bee gets in his throat and falls alseep. The bunny can't get the bee out and he can't do anything but whisper. He was so sleepy and can't go to sleep with a bunny in his throat. after trying several little sounds to wake the bee the bunny made alittle noise that sounded like a bee swallowing honey from an apple blossom and the bee woke up and fleew away.
The little rabbit must make a tiny noise in order to wake up the bee asleep in his throat. The book repeats the phrase "...but the bee didn't wake up" after each of the rabbit's attempts.
Given to O while visiting friends. She enjoyed it enough to read it multiple times in a day. Cute story.
