Bombus The Bumblebee
Elsie Larson
Hardcover / $10.00 / 37 pages / full colour
Everyone is amazed that bumblebees are able to fly. Their insect bodies seem too fat and their wings too stubby. The author develops this situation into a fanciful story in which streamlined honeybees taunt the bumblebee. Only when Bombus (means bumblebee) understands that he was created to fly, does he take to the air again. Beautifully illustrated. Supplementary pages include more bumblebee biology, discussion points on how to deal with bullying and low self-acceptance, and creative activities. (K – 2)
