Overview

A side-splittingly funny picture book about open-mindedness and the power of change. The Bug Hotel has a fancy dining room, a rooftop terrace … even a pool if water is your thing. What a wonderful hotel! Trouble is, Branwell the solitary bee is not welcomed by the other guests – they're convinced he will sting! But Branwell can't sting, and even if he could, he wouldn't want to. When a curious toddler starts poking and shaking the bug hotel, our stripy hero, Branwell, ends up saving the day, showing us all a thing or two about resolving tricky situations peacefully.
