Book Cover & Preview Text
Suddenly, Betty Blackbird, a recent recruit to their ranks, saw what was going on and decided to beat Heather to the honey. Betty and Heather got to the cabinet simultaneously and slammed into the shelves. As they hit the shelves, the contents within began to fall. The honey was the first to lose its place upon the shelf. On the way down, one of the jars hit a jar of spaghetti sauce and the two jars shattered into pieces. The honey spilled all over Betty followed shortly by a box of blue food coloring. In an instance, Betty the Blackbird became Betty the Bluebird. This set into motion a chain reaction and one by one, the jars hit the counter and floor in synchronized explosions. The calamity was followed by a period of deafening silence. Everyone stopped in their tracks, all startled by what had just happened.
