Summary: A Hive of Busy Bees
Review: DON'T BUY THIS BOOK if you want "fluff"! My 8 yr.old and I loved this book. We need more books that teach "Bee Obedient, Bee Polite, Bee Content, Loving, Prayerful, Grateful, Truthful," etc. It is a great conversation starter about things that matter in life. It deals with the circumstances of our actions and other issues that can make us better people. But, as I said earlier, "if you want "fluff", don't buy it".

Summary: very scary book
Review: I was given this book by my grandmother as a child. Nearly thirty years later, I still remember how very scary it was to me. It teaches life lessons with a heavy, heavy dose of guilt. In one story, a little boy does not do the chores his mother wants him to, and goes fishing instead. He comes home to find his mother has done all the chores, and IS NOW DEAD! In another, a little boy does not close the gate as he is asked to, and his little sister gets trampled by horses and is in a wheelchair for life as a result of his irresponsibility. Come on now! I found the book to be traumatizing.

Summary: obedience is taught and caught
Review: This book presents realistic stories in an easty to read format.
Warm family relationships are apparent and grandma's stories always have a significant lesson for young readers and reminders for older readers.For every choice one makes, whether a careless choice or a careful choice, there are consequences. Love of neighbor in making those choices and seeking forgiveness when mistakes and consequences harm others is a theme throughout.
