Summary

When Mary Ellen gets bored with her reading, Grandpa knows a hunt for a bee tree is just what she needs. Half the town joins the exciting chase, but it's not until everyone returns home that Mary Ellen makes a discovery of her own. Sometimes, even the sweetest of things must be worked for.

Critic reviews

"Polacco has created another charming story featuring a child learning from a grandparent in an idyllic pastoral setting." ( School Library Journal)

Awesome

My son and I loved the book. we felt like we were running with Maryellen and the town's people looking the Bee Tree.

It was a great story and a good lesson.
