This book is about two children who are spending the summer with their grandparents. Every night they learn about a character quality were there is a bee buzzing telling them to do the right thing. Sometimes people rejected the buzz and had bad consequences. Some of them accepted the buzz and better things happened to them. I really liked this book because it turns the lessons into stories. My favorite part was the last story "Bee Prayerful." There was a boy planning to do something for his own greed, but, by the power of prayer he didn't. He eventually accepted God as his savior.
I think this book is for everyone about 6 and older. It has some scary content in Bee Prayerful, Bee Obedient, and Bee Helpful.
I give this book 5 stars! *****

Makayla,

love you lots!
Hi Makayla, I love these stories...
ReplyDeleteI try to read at least 2 a night. Recently
your grandpa and I heard the buzz of the
Honest Bee. We were shopping, and a small
package of pancake mix was hidden behind
a large heavy box, The cashier came out
from the counter and scanned the box. We didn't
see it until we were putting the box in the car.
Your grandpa and I looked at each other. I really didn't
want to walk back in, and stand in line again to
pay for the mix. But we heard the buzz of the
Honest Bee, and I went in side, the cashier
seen me come in, and came up to me and asked
“ is some thing wrong? .. How can I help? “
I told her how one package didn't get scanned, and I needed
to pay for it. She checked me out right away,
gave me a big smile, and thanked me for
being so honest.. The other customers looked
at me and smiled too... It was such a good feeling.
No matter how old you are, the busy bee still
come to help you.
