Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A finely crafted, sweet-as-honey, friendship story, buoyed by core classroom topics and curriculum tie-ins, perfect for early STEM teaching.Beatrice and Abel are the finest of friends. Beatrice raises bees. Abel grows apples. In summer, they gather sticky, sweet honey together, and in fall, they harvest ripe, red fruit. They make a perfect pair in every season, and so do the bees and the trees.Until one spring morning, Abel startles a bee--ZING!--and gets stung. "WHEE HEE HEE!" he cries. But Beatrice hears only the silly sounds and laughs. OUCH! Is their friendship strong and steady enough to weather the stinging words and messy quarrel that stem from misunderstanding?Friendship and nature form the perfect pair in this warm and winsome celebration of teamwork, ecology, and the art of saying "I'm sorry."
Beatrice raises bees and her neighbor Abel raises apples, and the two live in harmony, until a misunderstanding causes them to get into a fight--and it takes an accident for them to realize how much they need each other.
