Swarm of Bees by Lemony Snicket

This is a cute story about being angry, and how could it can feel, but how it also, feels good to calm down, too! My kids really enjoyed this one!

The message in this book is interesting - that it might feel good to be angry but calming down from being angry feels even better. I got where the book was going with the bees and when the little boy started throwing tomatoes, it felt like a weird wrench in the story. Even reading that back in my summary makes it sound ridiculous. The art is kind of cool but the story is just odd.

I didn't like this book but the little ones did. And that's the point, isn't it? Do the target audience like it.

The text of this book leaves something to be desired, and I can't help but think that if it didn't have Lemony Snicket's name attached to it, it probably wouldn't have been published at all. The illustrator did a fantastic job, though, which makes up for some of what the text is lacking. Not a bad read, but I probably won't go out of my way to pick it up again.

This is between a 1 and 2 star rating for me. The entire time reading this I thought the text would eventually have some kind of rhythm but it never did.

This book is so unexpected and hilarious and yet still packs a great message. Honestly I loved it and reading it out loud brings the joy and heart of the book to life. The illustrations are perfection and everyone should get this book

Short. Very vibrant and enjoyable artwork. The story is not as interesting as some previous Snicket picture books have been.

P.S. Be kind to bees. They pollinate our food.

This did not feel like a Snicket book, they kind of phoned this one in. What is this kid's problem? Idk maybe I'm missing something... about this children's picture book.
