What a delightful story, with a plethora of "bee-lines." I read this to my 20 month old and she was mesmorized by the illustrations. My grandmother's name is Beatrice and at age 100 she has never ever liked her name, so I think she would be pleased to see another rendition of her name being used in such a beautiful story about the life cycle of bee's. Beetrice is not content to just be a little girl, she is obsessed with being a bee until one day through some magical honey, her wish comes true. Beetrice finds out however, that being a Bee, is not the "bee" all and end all, and she realises she must be content just to be a girl. A lovely illustration of learning to love and accept oursleves and those around us, just as they are.
