Two insects who don't like to share become allies when their lives are threatened. What I thought: A great story with lovely illustrations. I'll definitely be doing a bugs story time in the spring with Horsefly & Honeybee as a featured book. I love that the characters don't start out as friends. My favorite illustrations are drat and napping (last page). Story Time Themes: Friendship, Bugs/Insects, Spring This book is a great way to introduce the importance of friendship, helping others and cooperating with our peers. Horsefly and honeybee did not like each other for not reason. By the end of the book, it is their cooperation that helps them get out of a sticky situation and become friends. Since bullying is one of the biggest problems schools everywhere are dealing with, it is important to find ways to create solidarity in the classrooms, this books does exactly that. Highly recommended...
