From the back cover:
'Bumpy the Grumblebee woke up and stretched his little wings. The garden was full of the scent and colour of flowers. His fat little body fluffed up in the sun's warmth, his stumpy little wings shining like jewels. But there was no getting away from the fact that his wings WERE short and stumpy. Some of the other insects laughed at him as he bumped and banged about trying to control his landing on his favourite flowers.'
But Bumpy allowed his taste for adventure to grow, and in these seven short stories his escapades are brought to public attention for the first time, beautifully illustrated by Lesley Purdy. Bumpy makes new friends in the garden and beyond, he perfects his flying skills, he gets into scrapes, he saves others who are in worse peril, and in turn is saved himself.
'These stories are a delight and Bumpy deserves a fan-base' ...
'Charming, witty ... ' 'Acutely observed ...'
'The Arrival of the Queen of the She-bees? Love it!'
The authors began writing about Bumpy almost by accident, but finished the book on purpose so that others might derive an equal amount of pleasure from the little bee and his friends.
