Description

Coco and the Bee by Laura Bunting is a delightful story set in the enchanting Tabby Valley, where Coco is thoroughly enjoying her new life.

There are magical seeds to plant in the garden, and new friends to make. However, when Coco encounters a bee, and later a boy named Max, she begins to realise that things aren’t always as they seem.

In this third tale, Coco’s world expands as she makes new friends, learns how to grow strawberries, and discovers that both nature and people can surprise her in delightful and sweet ways.
