Book Description
A sweet and funny take on the problem of being yourself and finding new friends.
Product Description
Jerry Bee has always had trouble making friends. People are scared of an enormous bee and run away as soon as they see him, until one day he picks up a wig and finds that attitudes suddenly change. With his wonderful new disguise, Jerry dares to go to school for the first time. His new classmates love him. They even make him Grand Marshall in the annual school parade. It’s all going so well – until a strong wind blows the wig right off Jerry’s head! Is this the end of Jerry’s new-found friendships? No ... Jerry has made one unexpected friend, who is about to speak up and save the day!

Review from Books That Heal Kids, 9 Aug 2010
By Books That Heal Kids "Roxanne" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bee-Wigged (Hardcover)
All Jerry Bee wants is a friend. But everyone is terrified of him because he is an enormous bee. They are afraid he could sting them. Jerry tries to change the way he looks by wearing a wig that he finds on the sidewalk. And it works! No one is afraid of him anymore. By the end of the day he makes friends with everyone at school and the kids adore him. They like him because he is helpful, funny, artistic, and generous. He's a good friend! The wig changes Jerry's life. But one day the wind blew Jerry's wig off. Everyone immediately runs away until.....the wig starts talking. Turns out the wig is a squirrel who saves the day by reminding everyone of Jerry's many positive qualities. This book cracked me up the first time I read it. I love sharing it with the students. I also like how the "wig" character stands up for Jerry Bee. Good life lessons in this one. And the whole squirrel/wig thing is kinda funny. I'm an elementary school counselor and really appreciate books like this one that teach about differences.

Fantastic, 15 Oct 2009
By Lorna in CT "Lorna Doone" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bee-Wigged (Hardcover)
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!

such a sweet, funny story!, 20 Jan 2011
By K. MIller - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bee-Wigged (Hardcover)
My seven-year old son and I both think this story is wonderful - the funny little details in the pictures, the speech bubbles, the absolute absurdity of the "enormous bee" and his furry friend. It always cracks us up. But it also has a kind, sympathetic main character and a nice message about acceptance and the power of positive actions. My younger son is attracted to the bright, colorful pictures and the simple text, which can be read with a lot of expression (and silly voices). I think this might be my favorite Cece Bell book yet (although Sock Monkey Boogie Woogie is really hard to beat).
