The Bee Who Spoke: The Wonderful World of Belle and the Bee

32 pp. | Thames | December, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-500-65027-1 $14.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Rebecca Gibbon. Young Parisienne Belle visits the countryside, where she meets a talking bee while on a bike ride. The lighthearted narrative takes a heavy-handed turn when the bee introduces Belle to its various animal friends ("In nature, we all have a job to do") and explains bees' importance ("We help everything grow," etc.). The lecture is balanced by breezy, summery illustrations.
