Say Please To The Honeybees
Written by: Susan Ross

When Violet takes honey from the bees without saying “please” she is plagued by bees seeking comical revenge, spiders wanting tasty treats, a hungry horse, a grumpy gaggle of geese and a snippy shopkeeper. And why isn’t anyone saying “please”? Children three to eight years old will love this funny story and its adorable ending. Then make a bee. Instructions included.

Reviews:
“I again loved the lessons intertwined in the story, such as being polite and asking before taking something that is not yours. We also really enjoyed the darling poem about bees at the end of the book, which taught both of us some very interesting information!”
“...As with Ross' The Great Bellybutton Cover-up, the first book in this charming series, Say Please to the Honeybees could easily become a story-time standard.
Say Please to the Honeybees is sure to spark children's imaginations to come up with even more creative solutions for Violet and her self-imposed problems, as well as spurring a dialogue on manners. Ross tops of her tale by offering parents (and teachers) a step-by-step interactive craft "Make a Busy Bee" to do with their children.
Yep, Susan Ross delivers another total package in riveting style. And I'm pleased to recommend Say Please to the Honeybees to teachers, parents and grandparents of children 3 to 9. (The older children will love reading this book themselves.) I'm giving this amusing tale five stars for originality, charm, lessons taught and creativity.”
