Opening sentence
My success is not mine alone, but the success of many.
'Humble Bumble' is very catchy little story that sends out a strong message about the importance of working together to achieve a goal. This is a beautifully illustrated story, with colourful fairy-like bumble bees that will capture the attention of any child. It is a easy to read combination of both English and Te Reo. At the back of the book there is some great facts about bumblebees and a glossary of words/phrases & proverbs, so that the reader can understand the Te Reo in the book.
