The Little Bumblebee stands on its own merits as a delightful children’s story, capturing the innocence of childhood. Yet it provides an invaluable lesson that can be easily understood, one that is of paramount concern to all parents. “Be careful,” Mother Bumblebee warns. “Don’t go into the yard with the white picket fence.” But instead of listening to his mother, the little bumblebee follows the strange bee into the yard and soon finds himself captured in a glass jar by the young girl who lives there. Only through his wits does the little bumblebee finally outsmart his captor and save himself. With the story’s happy ending comes an important lesson for all children to learn. As Mother Bumblebee cautions, “You must never, ever go off with a stranger—no matter what he says.”

'Bumpy the Grumblebee woke up and stretched his little wings. The garden was full of the scent and colour of flowers. His fat little body fluffed up in the sun's warmth, his stumpy little wings shining like jewels. But there was no getting away from the fact that his wings WERE short and stumpy. Some of the other insects laughed at him as he bumped and banged about trying to control his landing on his favourite flowers.'But Bumpy allowed his taste for adventure to grow, and in these seven short stories his escapades are brought to public attention for the first time, beautifully illustrated by Lesley Purdy. Bumpy makes new friends in the garden and beyond, he perfects his flying skills, he gets into scrapes, he saves others who are in worse peril, and in turn is saved himself.'These stories are a delight and Bumpy deserves a fan-base' ...'Charming, witty...'
