Review

Join friends Kenneth and Queenie again, along with Barbara, Dungaree and Zappo, as they set out to save the world! The first instalment in this series of stand-alone stories was part of our May selection.


Fuzzy Bits – When Queenie decides to help pollinate by spreading pollen everywhere, Kenneth is not happy. He likes things done in an orderly way, not in a reckless and messy way. But Queenie thinks his way is slow and boring. The one thing they do agree on is how important pollination is!


Fuzzy Friends – When their friends Barbara, Dungaree and Zappo join Kenneth and Queenie on one of their quests to save the world, Queenie comes up with the ‘Queenie Bomb’. But can she convince Kenneth to give it a go?


Fuzzy Feelings – When Queenie says that she is missing her family, Kenneth tells her to go and see them. But what about saving the world? Does she really want to leave her super friends and their super colony?


These are wonderful stories, all about the importance of bees and friendship. This is the second book in this fabulous graphic novel series for junior and middle readers.
