PreS-Gr 1–A busy bee, a hungry bear, and a very funny story told in simple text and uproarious illustrations. A bear discovers a honey tree and the eventual encounter between bear and “a million fuzzy buzzing bees” makes for a hilarious romp.

VERDICT Illustrations capture the humor and the emotion perfectly.
