Flight of the Bumblebee

Flight of the Bumblebee
by Hazel Edwards
Illustrated by Mini Goss

Published by New Frontier

Bumble is having trouble. How is a bee supposed to do his job when he can’t fly properly?

The Queen sends him back to flying school where a kind drone tries to teach Bumble the necessary skills. Nothing seems to work-then the flight instructor has an inspirational idea!

Bumble tries using the song Flight of the Bumblebee to get his wings flapping. It works! Bumble is successful; moving his wings along with the song he is able to fly.

Antonia Kidman reads the story and Flight of the Bumblebee by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov is mixed in as background music and highlighted so children can hear how the story was inspired by the music. There are also short lessons on bees, the composer and the music.

Also in the Music Box Series-The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy.
