Review

Our unlikely friends, Friendly Bee and Angry Wasp, are back for another adventure (Book 1 was included in our April selection).


Friendly Bee is trying to convince Angry Wasp that they have to dress up for Hairy Spider's dress-up party. But you can only imagine how Angry Wasp feels about that- especially when his ‘dress’ causes him to fall on a woeful worm!


If you thought Angry Wasp was negative, wait until you meet Pessimistic Earthworm! In typical Friendly Bee fashion, he invites the lonely earthworm to the party too, but of course Angry Wasp is not happy about this either.


But is there really a party happening, or has Friendly Bee got it all wrong?


This is a humorous graphic novel about friendship, helping others, accepting our differences and tolerance, and with facts supplied by Clever Cricket, it is sure to be enjoyed by all students in junior to middle primary.
