Kindness Matters kindle store As stories go this one is not bad at all While the language of the text can be a little on the nose and overly literal in places the story has a lot of good elements and themes community generosity consideration cooperation leadership courage Unfortunately this gets overshadowed by the deeply confusing art choices Sadie along with the other bees of her hive are depicted as having humans heads two legs and two arms with fingered hands yet with wings and bee striped bodies They almost appear to be humans in bee costumes but everything from their hive to their size is consistent with that of actual bees and this is never addressed in the text It s an unnecessary and distracting visual element especially as the book claims to educate on the importance of bumblebees in nature if there were the case why not illustrate normal bees Why give them human features It was quite perplexing for JJ who repeatedly searched for the bees the text I was reading referred to to her eyes she saw only humans The length is fine but this major stumble definitely detracts from the overall experience Ultimately this one was not for us ambitious story notwithstanding Note A copy of this book was provided to The Baby Bookworm by a representative of the author in exchange for an honest review Be sure to check out The Baby Bookworm for reviews 9780997926026 Sweet as honey this tale demonstrates the importance of sharing.

Kindness matters shirt My favorite part of this book is the illustrations They are bright colorful and bring the excitement and joy of the bees to life While the bees with their human large heads at first made me wonder it turned out to be a wonderful way to depict these fun insects The illustrations flow right along with the story making sure kids can grab this book up and explore the tale even on their own. Kindness matters cards The story itself is warm encouraging and offers a lovely message Sadie and the bees are very friendly kind and work together It s an inspiring group with joy which radiates from every page The message comes across loud and clear as Sadie saves the day Only the middle of the story wandered a bit with distraction Still the text is very fitting to the age group and it makes a nice read aloud.
