Enjoyable!
The story is great and catchy. My 3 1/2 year old loves its and it makes her giggle. I enjoy reading it to her and she is starting to memorize it.

Adorable
I love the phonics readers, in general, but this one in particular is one of my favorites! I have four daughters, so I'm sure it's to be a favorite in our home for a while. The bee works hard to prepare a party, and perseveres with the help of others despite many setbacks! It's cute.

My Favorite Phonics Reader
My daughter has loved this book since she was about 10 months old. She's now almost 2 and still loves to "read bee".
The illustrations are beautiful and the story is sweet and catchy! It is by far my favorite book in the phonics collection.

Our first usborne purchase
It was an accident. We didn't know what we were getting into.
Now my kids are obsessed with Bee (and ladybug, and crab, and ants, and chocolate cheesecakes on the chairs....)
But silly aside, we love the story, we love the artwork, we love the sturdiness of the pages (these are nice paperback books!), we love to explore each page.
It's an absolute bonus for this mentally exhausted mom that it shares ways on how to explore the book at the end.
If you like bees or tea or sweets, I definitely recommend this book!

A favorite!
My four year old is obsessed with this story. We love all the phonic books, but this one is definitely her favorite. Cute little rhyming story about a little bee who is having a birthday tea party on the sea for the queen bee. I love how when the cake falls the ants help bee put it back together again to make it look like a bee. So it teaches the kids that even though sometimes bad things happen, you can always turn it around into something good. 😁
