Dianne Denise Nash Adventures of Mr. McPhee

Annotation

In The Adventures of Mr. McPhee and Horatio the Bee, the authors, Dianne and Denise Nash, have these two primary characters participate in a number of everyday life experiences. Their adventures include many social situations that are unfamiliar to Horatio. McPhee, the mature and wise old elf, "gets out of the way" and allows the young bee either to succeed or fail when confronted with situations that are unique to Horatio. Initially, the impetuous bee demonstrates many poor choices, along with awkward social behavior. Ultimately, with the insight of McPhee, the determined bee conquers these setbacks and, eventually, has a greater respect for his partners on this earth, in addition to its ever changing environment.
