Bumble B. Mission Fun

For ages: 6-8

Beatrice “Bumble B.” Flinn is funny (she loves jokes), smart (she loves science), and creative (she loves to draw). Beatrice is also very clumsy and tends to bumble her way through life, which is how she got the nickname Bumble B. (the fact that she loves bugs and hates her full name plays a role as well). But clumsiness doesn’t damper her confidence! Every day she tackles a self-assigned mission. And every mission is a new opportunity for success. With humor, spunk, and a whole lot of spirit, Bumble B. proves, without a doubt, that what doesn’t kill her makes her stronger! With fun-filled illustrations, short chapters, and easy-to-read text, this early chapter book will prove that every negative can be turned into a positive if you have the right attitude, a little confidence, and a ton of resilience.
