About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Tale of Buster Bumblebee, by Arthur Scott Bailey. Buster Bumblebee and his family move into a new home. Excitement and buzzing abound. Buster meet a strange fellow called a carpenter bee, way too many chirpy crickets, and even finds his own long lost sister. Later in his adventurous life, Buster learns of another kind of Bee, a Raising Bee and how much food is available for everyone there. All in all, this tale will bring smiles and grins to listeners young and old as it tells of Buster Bumblebee, a young bee with a lot to learn but a heart of gold. (Summary by phil chenevert)
