lemony snicket: go home, you're drunk!! ( )

I found this book to be difficult to follow and full of a train of disjointed characters. The moral about controlling emotions is more than an arms length away, seemingly unreachable to little readers who think more literary than adults. They only emotions it seems to convey is within the reader, confusion, disappointment and angry about the unprovoked tomato attack.

My daughter really enjoyed this story and loved the illustrations. The illustrations are very cute but I found the story was lacking a little bit of cohesion. ( )

The artwork in this book is really beautiful, however the story is very lackluster. A boy walks through town his anger causing mischief in the form of bees. Although the story has a resolution, it's not clear how the boys anger is resolved. It is unfortunate that the story isn't more cohesive, as this is otherwise a very nice book. ( )

Adult's review: Swarm of Bees is about a boy who walks through town throwing tomatoes at everyone, followed by a swarm of bees which represent his anger. The illustrations are simple and eye-catching. The story is okay, and ends with the boy letting go of his anger and going to clean up the mess he made, but it's not clear what helps him let go of his anger.
5-year-old's review: I like it. I like that it's funny and the boy goes to different people. I like the map picture. ( )
