Beebee and the Amazing Honeycake Rules written by Doreen Ludka Maulhardt and illustrated by Maddy Moore is an adorable tale that helps young readers learn meaningful steps to take when overcoming a challenging situation. Following Beebee the young honeybee as she sets off to retrieve pollen, readers are immersed in a colorful world full of bright flowers and smiley cartoon bees. This joyful atmosphere changes quickly, however, when Beebee defies her mother’s rules to not enter the greenhouse and becomes trapped. With the help of another trapped bee, Bugzee, Beebee tries not to panic and remembers the three Honeycake Rules: be still, be positive, and be faithful. Through employing these rules, Beebee and Bugzee courageously work together and find their way back home safe and sound.

Readers of Beebee and the Amazing Honeycake Rules have so much to take away from this endearing story, especially those of a young age who are going to inevitably encounter a testing situation of their own. While it can be easy to panic and give up under such circumstances, following in Beebee’s footsteps to remain positive and faithful is the only way to ensure the best outcome possible. This children’s book is perfect for a parent to read to their child at bedtime or for those in the process of learning to read all on their own.
