Sure to delight and enchant while it instructs kids in valuable lessons of life

"The Very Greedy Bee" is a vividly illustrated children's morality fable about a greedy bee who overslurped on pollen and nectar and found he was too roly poly to fly his way home after dark. After quite a few moments of fear and trepidation, the greedy bee finds help from two kind fireflies who light his way (walking) home, and some tiny ants help him cross a stream by finding a leaf to ride like a boat. All ends well and the greedy bee introduces his new friends to his fellow bees and invites them to a hive party where the main course is honey. Thus the greedy bee learns the virtues and joy of sharing and the dangers of being greedy and overslurping! Aimed at children ages 3-7, "The Very Greedy Bee" is sure to delight and enchant while it instructs kids in valuable lessons of life.
