Plight Of Queen Bee - Review
By: Lillian Brummet
This is a children’s book that will keep readers glued to the
pages right to the end. The Plight of Queen Bee by Simone
Fairchild entails forty pages of gorgeous, bright fun
illustrations with vivid detail and glorious lilac flowers in full
bloom. Illustrator Pamela Marie Key masterfully creates
real-life illusions right down to the bark on the lilac tree. I
loved the bee’s wings in particular, which reminded me of a
treasured sea shell from my childhood that had pearl-like
iridescent quality to it.
Multiple award winning author Simone Fairchild spins a
fascinating detective story, complete with a Sherloch
Holmes-like character - Detective Brown who is called in to
solve the baffling mystery of who is stealing Queen Bee’s
nectar. Detective Brown must endure awful pressure from
Queen Bee and find out who is telling the truth. He
accidentally discovers a culprit red-handed that completely
surprises readers and heroically disarms the robber with
swift swordplay. Simone Fairchild certainly reveals her talent
for this genre and a love for her readers, which flows
throughout this excellent book.
Four wonderful games will stimulate the minds of your
children while the images and details will keep them
amused for long periods of time. It’s a sure bet that The
Plight of Queen Bee will be read many, many times by your
family.
