Item Description...
Overview
Jerry, a large bee who longs to have friends, finds that by putting on a wig he can pass for a boy, until one day while he is leading the annual school parade the wind starts blowing very hard.
Publishers Description
To bee or not to bee? A lonely, overlarge insect tries a new identity on
for size in a wacky, wonderful tale of true friendship.
All Jerry Bee wants is to make friends, but that's hard to do when you're the most enormous bee anyone has ever seen. Then a wig changes Jerry's life: when he puts it on, he looks just like a boy! Jerry creates quite a buzz with his kindness and generosity, and for the first time, he has friends. But will his new pals stick around when his true identity is revealed? In this zany and tender tale, written and illustrated by Cece Bell, Jerry finds that having friends you can "bee" yourself around is as sweet as honey.
Cece Bell is the author-illustrator ofSOCK MONKEY GOES TO HOLLYWOOD, SOCK MONKEY BOOGIE-WOOGIE, SOCK MONKEY RIDES AGAIN, and the board books BUSY BUDDIES and FOOD FRIENDS. She lives in Virginia. |

 | Big Hit in Pre-K Oct 17, 2009 |
| I'm a pre-school teacher who just read Bee Wigged to my class - not only did we all laugh out loud at the surprise ending, but when we made a "B is for Bumble Bee" project later that day, the children all wanted to name their bees "Jerry." I wish every book I read in class was as smart and funny. | | | | Fantastic Oct 15, 2009 |
| This is a funny, heart warming book. I read it to my five year old, but my older kids and their friends were listening and loved it so much they asked me to read it again. It is one of my five year old's favorite books. It has a very nice message and the illustrations are great! | | |  | This is a delightful book! Jun 20, 2009 |
"Bee-Wigged" is a delightful story about accepting people for their hearts and their character, not what they look like. The difference between Jerry being accepted and loved by his school mates and feared as a giant bee is whether he's wearing a wig.
The illustrations are bright and brilliant, and it's a lovely read. I read this over and over with my daughter, and we just love it. Highly recommended. | | | | Bee-utiful! Feb 18, 2009 |
Cece Bell has done the near impossible task of creating a book that is equally loved by children, parents, teachers, and (I suspect) really big bees. The story of Jerry Bee and his heroic bid for social acceptance teaches (without being all "teach-y") young readers to look beyond the stripes on someone's outside to find the bee-auty within. I'll be very surprised if Ms. Bell doesn't win an award for this funny and socially relevant book.
Heartwarming, quirky, and profound. Not to mention hilarious!
This is one your child will want to read again and again -- and so will you! | | | | beewigged Feb 15, 2009 |
| this is so sweet and silly - my granson felix (2 1/2) loves to hear the story - he laughs and giggles - at the end he says "bee end". | | | Write your own review about Bee-Wigged
