What a beautiful message!I picked this book out randomly at the library and read it to my 6 month old son. I was at once thrilled at how he responded to the big, colorful images. The story is adorable. A bear describing bees and how horribly scary they are to a fellow animal. The bear has never seen a bee before in his life which makes it all the more hilarious when the animal he is talking to...turns out to be a bee! A fun story and a good life lesson: Breaking down stereotypes by encouraging open communication and open-mindedness. Bought it for our son's library! I thought that this picture book was really cute and funny. I think it is funny because the bear talks about how much he hates bees and how scary they are, but yet he is telling this to a bee! The best part about it all is that the bee goes along with it, as if he is also trying to teach him a lesson or help him understand that he is wrong and there is nothing to be afraid of. When the bear finds out that he is actually talking to and befriended a bee, he is the most surprised. The emotion that the bear gives off in the end is extremely happy, which also made me happy. I think this book really shows people not to always believe what you hear because they could be wrong. The bear heard that the bee was big and scary, but when it actually came down to encountering one, he found out he was wrong.
