Petty, Dev. Don’t Eat Bees (Life Lessons from Chip the Dog). Doubleday Books for Young Readers, 2022. 978-0-593-43313-3. $23.99. Grades K-2.

Chip is a very smart dog. You see, although he is only 7 years old in people years, he is very old in dog years. Chip has learned lots of lessons along the way, most of them being about things that you can eat and things that you cannot eat. For example, you can eat shoes, or plants, or the important papers the small human being brings home. You cannot eat, however, bees. Peas are fine, but bees are not! It is very important to remember that you cannot eat bees… even if you really, really want to… at least, you should try your best to remember not to eat them more than once!

THOUGHTS: An adorable book filled with simple life lessons from a dog! After all, it is important to remember not to eat bees, even when you may really want to!
