The perfect bedtime story!

Mary’s Review: Barry was a young bee who was different from all the other bees who lived in his hive.  You see, when Barry was born he couldn’t walk and as he got older het couldn’t fly.  He lived in a very organized hive where everyone worked and played together except for Barry. Then one day something happened to change all that.  Come along on an adventure with Barry and see how that all changes.

This book is excellent to in teaching children that not all of us are  born the same, but still have the ability to be any thing we want to be.  Also that we should be friends with those who are different than we are.

I recommend this book for ages 4-and up.

Mary’s Review: “I must hve done something right, because God gave me you.”  A sweet, heartwarming, rhyming bedtime story of how blessed a mommy is that God gave her a wonderful baby to love.   She compares all the things in the ocean, in the sky, the art in the museums, but that in His wisdom, He knew someday that the sweet baby she holds in arm she would be a mommy to.
I love this bedtime story and so did my 2 year old granddaughter.  The illustratrations are colorful and childlike.  I recommend this book for ages 2-5.

The illustrations are wonderful and so cute.
A great learning and educational book for children ages 4 and up.
