Mrs. Elbmub The Human Bee

This short story is about three boys who set out to solve a mystery. How and why has their teacher turned into a giant bee? The coloured illustrations add much to an imaginative plot which, like all good mysteries, encourages its readers to form their own ideas as to what might or might not have gone on behind the scenes.

The main character, a young impressionable boy named Max, is convinced his teacher is a bee. He persuades his two closest friends to join him in what proves to be a strange adventure. As the story progresses, the reader is drawn into a world which only a youthful and vibrant imagination can describe. Children, reading the book for themselves, will have no difficulty in recognising this world. Adults reading the book to their children will find it a pleasant and amusing experience, which might well bring back to them memories of their own youthful fantasies.
