Extended description

Biggle and Bee is a cute children's story with a good moral message. The story follows Biggle, a young inexperienced groundhog who finds himself lost and alone in the wilderness. Soon Biggle stumbles upon Bee, a newly hatched gosling. Bee had been taken by a sly old fox and buried in the ground for safe keeping. When Biggle discovers Bee, he realizes that he must forgive Bee's parents, who couldn't see passed their "ugly" differences and had bullied Biggle and his mama. Nonetheless, Biggle must try and return Bee to his family through many dangers. Along the way, they learn what bullies really are; not to judge others by what they look like; and how to gain a little trust in one another and those around them. This is a touching story of love, self-confidence, strength of character and good old fashion cuteness.

A pleasant little read, reminding younger readers not to judge good or bad based on first impressions.

Review by: Marisa Slusarcyk on Dec. 09, 2012 :
I read this book a few weeks ago and have had a wrist injury since, which has hindered my typing and my brain function. 

I really enjoyed what this story’s overall message was- don’t judge someone by how they look. Or, I guess today we would say it was a book on anti-bullying and the good and bad things that can and will happen to people (or in this story, animals) who don’t care for one another the way we should. The overall message is love one another. The “golden rule” has dominated again. I am not complaining though, Today we need as many books about bullying as we can get until its second nature to be a giving non-judgemental person.

For me, though I did find this book interesting and even cute at times, it was just too long. It had too many characters that were less than secondary and were unnecessary, making it hard for even the oldest of the kids (me) to remain interested. At times I felt like I had read the same story several times with the only difference being a few names. I would suggest that this author keeps it simple when writing books on a topic that is already becoming over saturated for the age range this book would be suited to.

The added education about animals and their predators was interesting but added to the monotony and therefore the length of this story. However, I would give this story an overall 4 out of 5 stars because it was educational, it taught life lessons, and in general it was a good read. It also used animals instead of people as the characters which for many children, including one of my own, is better than reading about people as empathising with an animal that you naturally love is simpler than with a stranger.

I will also be posting a copy of the above review to GoodReads.

Review by: Margaret (Literary Chanteuse) on Nov. 10, 2012 :
An extremely adventurous story about a groundhog and a gosling that will have you glued to each page. Just when you think the adventure is coming to an end the courageous duo find themselves in yet another dangerous predicament and manage to come through with learning a few lessons along the way. My daughter age 7 who I refer to often as the kinder critic read this story to me and gives it a 5 star rating. A few challenging words for those advanced readers and a little longer than I had originally expected I give it 4 stars. Either way definitely a great story with a good moral lesson.
