This book tells about two sisters, Paityn and Paxtyn visiting their grandparents on the farm during summer vacation. Grandad tells them a pleasant story based on true information about how Mrs. Queen Bumblebee struggles to protect her babies, just as any parent would, during three episodes of danger. There was danger to the queen bumble bee, to the bumble bee nest and to the bumble bee babies. It tells how the worker bees worked at keeping their pollen baskets full to feed the babies when they arrived, while Mrs. Bee fanned, pampered and protected the nest. Mrs. Bee emphasizes how important it was for her to protect them from the elements, and ever present enemies, since they had such an important task of pollinating the farmer''s crops. Otherwise, without their help, the children of the world would have no food to eat.

In Pig Wisdom, Mr. Pig applies anger management techniques, or alternatives to conflict and violence, in the barnyard, teaching the animals to solve their anger problems constructively, rather than to harm others. Wise Mr. Pig encourages the barnyard animals to use these techniques to discourage the ill behavior of Miss Goose who constantly irritates and heckles the barnyard animals, causing them to lose their cool. These techniques are emphasized in each anger-arousing situation and reiterated at the end of the book for memory application. In the end, the barnyard animals learn to manage their behavior, are much happier, and Miss Goose becomes more tolerable, even pleasant.

My husband and I lived in Altoona, Iowa in the same house for almost 50 years before he passed away in 2012. We have one living son which at present lives with me.I do not have grandchildren, but enjoy the young people and know that many of them did not have the luxury or having the same kind of home in which I was raised.
