An unlikely story but so well written that you will immediately engage with it. Superbly illustrated (in black and yellow, of course!), this is the highly entertaining story of an unlikely superhero * Parents in Touch *
An educational and entertaining book that keeps you hooked but never stops feeding you the facts * The Book Bag *
A fast moving text and real bee facts woven into the story * The Bookseller (picked as one of the books to watch) *
A bee-riliant read from bee-ginning to end * Nick Sharratt *
Tony's lively drawings keep this story buzzing! It's the bee's knees! * Philip Reeve and Sarah McIntyre *
