Synopsis

From the bestselling author of The Dark comes another brilliantly illustrated picture book that takes on an intense childhood emotion--this time, anger--in a rollicking, kid-friendly way.
Whether you're a kid or a bee, sometimes you feel so mad, you buzz around looking for people to sting and trouble to make. See how one boy, a swarm of bees, and a whole town can get riled up and then find a way to feel better through the comfort of unconditional love and community.

Printed in a brilliant palette of primary colors, brimming with beautiful dots and stripes, Rilla Alexander's art sings. Not since David Shannon's No, David! have readers been given the pleasure of witnessing such uproariously terrible behavior, unbridled emotion, and ultimately, such comfort.

Why? What?! May angry bees chase Snicket and make him apologize AND atone for his actions.......more

If only being busy was enough reason for a swarm of bees (or angry person) to not attack... Other better emotional intellegence and emotional regulation books exist. Ones that actually have a point and clear plot to get there. Give this one a pass.......more

Goodreads review by Lana on April 04, 2019

Lemony Snicket's latest was a bit disappointing. Illustrations were great, loved the bees as plain black and yellow circles. I was excited for a twist at the end, as is typical of most Snicket picture books, but it ended up being sort of meh with a luke-warm message about anger. I think my trio of k......more
