Teaches children great values

This children's book claims to teach citizenship, teamwork and responsibility and it does it well! "It's Not Fair," by Carl Sommer, is a story about a little worker bee named Buzzie, who thought it was unfair that all the worker bees had so much work to do, while the other bees didn't. When she complained to all of the other bees, they decide to create a new hive of their own. Without a leader, chaos soon erupts and no one is happy. Buzzie then learns that everyone needs to have their own place in order to live peacefully. The bees then return to their old hive and are very happy working together again. MyParenTime.com highly recommends this book -- it teaches children that everyone has a place in this world and if we all work together we can accomplish great things. It also teaches responsibility and the idea of belonging to a group and working together -- an important skill for children to learn throughout life. In addition, the illustrations are very colorful and engaging.
