FTC Full Disclosure – A copy of this book was sent to me by the author in hopes I would review it. However, receiving the complimentary copy did not influence my review. The thoughts are completely my own and given honestly and freely.

Thanks for stopping by today. Don’t you just love the cover of this book? So cute. What are your thoughts on stories that teach youngsters without them realizing they are being taught a lesson?

    I'm with Elephant Child. As long as those lessons aren't preachy, which this books apparently avoids, I'm in favor. Reading a story has always been a wonderful way to internalize those lessons. Love the cover.

      Lee, I agree about books that are too preachy and put youngsters off. This one teaches good lessons but in a fun way for youngsters.

    Hi Mason - that's great the idea of Peace with Bees and what the Silly Elephant learns along his journey ... bringing in other aspects kids encounter that are difficult just adds to the tale.

    In Kenya and now it's spreading they're using bees to protect native lands against elephants - a mutually exclusive advantage to all three parties. I wrote about it this time last year ...

    Lovely cover and story line - it will definitely appeal. Cheers Hilary

      Hilary, bees are a great way to protect native lands. Sadly I read this morning that bees are vanishing in Hawaii because of their habitat being destroyed. This is a charming book that will teach youngsters the importance of bees.

    Sounds like a good message for kids.
    Not right to steal something just because you want it. Now all I can hear is Rocket Raccoon asking 'But what if I want it more?'
