Izzy Pizzy: The Bumbling Bee

By: Beth Shortsleeve

A quiet morning in the abbey cellar is entirely disrupted when Benjamin the bee zips recklessly through the shadows and plows straight into Izzy's freshly spun architectural masterpiece. Covered in sticky white silk and sent on an urgent errand by his friend Andy, Benjamin begs for help-though he insists he can fly them to the pantry himself. Unfortunately, his silk-tangled wings are firmly out of commission, leaving him no choice but to take a terrifying, character-building walk across the flagstones with Izzy.

Things go from bad to worse when they encounter Jeremiah, a massive, dozing toad who views Benjamin as a neat little snack. Only Izzy's cheerful obliviousness-and Jeremiah's deep desire to avoid a week's worth of relentless nagging-saves the day. Slipping through the floorboards into the pantry, they finally track down Andy, who is stuck flat on his back with his legs kicking wildly inside a massive, ancient ceramic honey pot.

Filled with humor, heart, and classic woodland charm, Izzy Pizzy: The Bumbling Bee is a delightful story about unexpected friendships, sticky rescues, and why a spider should perhaps stay safely in the rafters.
