Robin's grandfather brings him to the car boot sale every week and gives him money for a toy - once they bring the toy home his grandfather casts a spell to get the toy to tell their story. These stories often lead to a lesson that Robin and his grandfather can use on a problem they are currently facing.
In this first book, Robin buys a toy bee who tells him all about being a bee and teamwork. Robin is able to take the tale and use it in his own life with a problem his soccer team has been facing recently.
The book is designed to look like a diary, lined pages and sketches of the events, even dates and times. It was very cute. The books are short and easy to read and complete. I think these would be best suited to more experienced beginning readers, as the paragraphs are a little on the longer side and there is a good amount of dialogue.
Overall, I think the tale in Bertie the Bee is an important one for any child to learn and the book can be read alone or with an adult. It was a wonderful story.
Also an adorable note is that this series is written by a father/daughter duo. ( )
