(Age: 5-8) Bee is excited to be going on a holiday. Then she
realizes that there are many things to do before she can leave for
her holiday.
Bee is the central character who lists important jobs to do before
going on holiday. Pets need housing and looking after while
she is gone and certain loved items need to stay home. She
realizes that she can't take everything with her. Bee likes
the idea of getting out of routine such as no ballet classes to go
to and no homework for a week! Bee is so excited that her
imagination takes over as she dreams of what wonderful and exciting
things she'll do.
Bee knows that her holiday will end and that she will have to go
back to her routine of dance classes and school.
A lovely and imaginative picture book with colourful illustrations
that 5-8 year olds will enjoy reading.
