Review quotes

Praise for Don't Worry, Bee Happy (Bumble and Bee #1):

The bees' theatrics and infectious enthusiasm pitted against Froggy's deadpan dryness place the trio on par with greats like Bob Shea's Ballet Cat and Sparkles or Mo Willems' Piggie and Gerald... bright colors, expressive characters, and attention to detail will attract multiple reads... Buzz-worthy. —Kirkus Reviews

Guaranteed to give emerging readers a buzz. — Kirkus Review
