Beatrice Flinn loves bees, and is very clumsy, that is why everyone calls her by her nickname "Bumble B". This is a cute early chapter book for late primary, early junior readers. It is made up of 3 stories each made up of 2 or 3 chapters. Bumble B has her best friends, but realizes that she can be friends with new people as well in one story. She is funny and can laugh at herself, but does get frustrated in the story called Halloween. She also loves to help even though it sometimes does not go the way it was planned. I love the illustrations, especially the ones of Bumble B. She is cute with crazy curly red hair and an infectious smile. Her friends like her humor and love having fun with her. This is a cute read showing a couple of simple messages, but just a fun book. This would make a great book for a home, school or public library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via netgalley.… (meer)
