The Bee-man Of Orn
The Bee-Man is an elderly, unkempt, recluse who has allowed swarms of bees to turn his small hut into a giant beehive. He was perfectly happy in the company of bees. One day, a young “sorcerer-in-training” visited him and told the Bee-Man that once upon a time he was someone special and that he, the “sorcerer” would help the Bee-Man discover who he once was. Reluctant at first to leave his bees, the Bee-Man decided to follow the sorcerer’s advice and discover his true identity and so, the adventure began.
This book is a triple treat. Frank Stockton’s fairy tale is a model of the genre. P.J. Lynch’s illustrations provide children with unforgettable images. The DVD “Making Fairy Tales" that is included with the book adds to the thrill of the story.
None! This work is impeccable, a model for the genre.
A perfect book for kids. Lynch could, and probably does, illustrations for Children's TV. He's in a class by himself. This was a real treat to review.
This is a fairy tale adventure book with CD.
This is a fairytale and as such includes a number of subtle lessons for the readers to think and talk about (i.e., it is a story with moral lesson). The illustrations provide imagery and tone that give the lessons more substance.
