Bee-Hive Yourself and Keep the Environment Clean!
Mr B’s Busy-Bea (The Bee Bea Sea), is the latest children’s book released by author Roy Bradshaw from Madeley in Telford. It is the second in his series of Mr. B’s Busy-Bea books and his eighth children’s book – this one has a subtle yet powerful environmental message.
Roy, with teaching experience in the secondary and primary sector and a former engineer in industry where amongst other things he wrote manuals for environmental standards, was initially inspired to pen the story by the quantity of plastic micro-particles in our seas rising at an alarming rate.
“Add this to the fact that fish are eating the plastic micro-particles, thinking them as food, then this leaves a worrying prospect for the future health of our seas.” Roy said.
Alongside Roy’s other releases: Konk the White Crocodile, Marti-Rye the Mole, Mr B’s Busy-Bea (The Ritzzz Hotel) and four Barley’s Biscuit stories, Mr. B’s Busy-Bea (The Bee Bea Sea) is available now through his website: www.roybradshaw.co.uk
They can also be purchased through Amazon, all good books stores including Waterstones, Gardners, Peters and Askews & Holts amongst others.
“I always want my writing to contain a strain of reality and education whilst entertaining at the same time.” Roy says.
“My super-hero (Busy-Bea) in the bee world is willing to take on any task regardless of its enormity.
“An explosion of bee parasites form a formidable and deadly enemy for most bee colonies around the world – they have designed a method of mass destruction and joined forces with plastic micro-particles in the seas to rid the world of bees and take their place.
“Mr B, back in his year three classroom, ponders this threat and morphs it with his teaching theme for the term – ‘The Environment.’ A plan to tackle both problems together drifts into his mind and he knows just the three students who can help!” Roy added.
Mr. B’s Busy-Bea (The Bee Bea Sea) has been fabulously illustrated by Lisa Williams, published through Media & You and is intended to appeal to young readers between 7 and 9 years. The title compliments Roy’s seven books already published: Barley’s Biscuit: Pattern’s Rock Quarry, A Paddle and the Golden Glow, Pipit’s Perilous Plight and Ghostly Whispers on Wenlock Edge. Mr. B’s Busy-Bea: The Ritzzz Hotel, Marti-Rye the Mole Has a Shiny Week and Konk the White Crocodile. They all remain popular.
“There are many other stories in the Barley’s Biscuit series I want to publish and several more Busy-Bea’s in my bonnet – four manuscripts are already written.” Roy added.
“Each of the releases are very different types of adventure stories. Barley’s Biscuit are problem solving type books, Mr. B’s Busy-Bea focuses on the battle between the good and bad guys and Marti-Rye is just a cheeky chappie with an obsession for collecting shiny things. Konk is an activities and story book out of which some pages can be freely copied for colouring-in, 2D and 3D model making.”
Roy is available for schools, libraries and other establishments for workshops, including reading/writing and 2D/3D model making, utilising any of his books and would be delighted to hear from anyone interested in arranging those – again this can be arranged easily through his website or by phone. He is also available for events interested in book signings or meet the author – or even local Arts and Craft fayres.
