The Butterfly, the Bee, & the Spider, by Farahay, Michael L., is two books in one. A coloring-in section (18 pgs.) follows a 22 page lyrical story with song lyrics and delightful graphics on each page. The characters lives are contrasted with their different actions, colors, shapes and size. Their friendship accented by what they enjoy doing together and sharing. Their friendship is tested with an emergency. One character, being delicate, whimsical and flighty is not anticipated to be the hero. Another one is fast, always in a hurry scurrying here and there, trying to fulfill family responsibilities expediently. However, this character, dodging one thing, becomes stuck in another's... Who can rescue who, and will it be in time? Author/artist, Farahay, M. L., published April 2014. ISBN 978-1-304-98143-1, ID: 14546511, 56 pages, 8.5"" X 11.""
