The Adventures of Mr. Bumble
It’s March and spring is here. The sun is in the sky longer than the moon and pretty flowers will soon bloom. Mr. Bumble is ready to spread his wings and fly. As we follow him on his journey he will buzz high and low in search of tasty pollen to make delicious honey. In this book we will learn about bees and the vital role they play in the environment – teaching children about the world around them and how they can take small steps to help protect the planet. This charming book is a must have when it comes to encouraging a love of nature and instilling environmental awareness in a fun and friendly way. We promise this will become a favourite read among children and adults alike and is a must have for any classroom or library.
His buzzing can be heard over children’s full laughter and adults’ dull chatter.
Look! It’s Mr. Bumble flying up and over the tunnel.
Don’t be afraid when you see him fly by, give him a wave or pretend high five.
