Bumbly the Bee and the Day the Flowers Lost Their Music by Tia Colcomb

 






The Bumble Bees were in their nests. Ready to start their day.

Bumbly, the youngest of the bees, was singing loudly.

"Buzz, Buzz, I'm making a honey that's for me!"

This is a story of a small Bee called Bumbly. He is an inquisitive bee with a kind nature. 

Bumbly heads off on his first big adventure. Little did he know he was about to meet lots of new friends, including some flowers especially one called Sonny the Sunflower. Who he and his friends have lost their music. 

Oh no something is missing what could it be and how can Bumbly help them? 

As you make your way through the book there is a blue butterfly follow her from page to page, can you see how she changes? 

This book will help your child's understanding of how plants grow and thrive and of course how bees like Bumbly play their part too!

This is a sweet little story featuring Bumbly the Bee who is ready to head off on his first big adventure.

The book is aimed at pre-schoolers although early infant aged readers would enjoy it. It would make for a delightful bedtime story to share with little ones.

The illustrations and the text work very well together, and pre-readers will enjoy the bright colourful pictures.

The sections where the flowers regain their singing voices and sing are lovely. The songs, written in rhyme work very well and add an extra level to this book.

I have one small criticism in that there are one or two typos in the text, but overall this is a lovely book which adults will enjoy sharing with their little ones.
