Colourful flowers fill the farmers' market, and Beatrice "Bumble B." Flinn is thrilled! Where there are flowers, there are insects. And B. loves insects! She can't wait to help Kalia at her family's flower stand. But when her job is to get rid of all the insects on the flowers, B. doesn't know what to do. Her mission of the day is clear -- she must save the insects! Easy-to-read text, short chapters, fun illustrations, a glossary, discussion questions and writing prompts add to the book. The Bumble B. early chapter books will inspire young readers to think outside the box.
