While Posey finds that swiping a classmate's coveted bee-shaped eraser is surprisingly easy, knowing that she has stolen it soon becomes intolerable. In tears by bedtime, she confesses to her mom, who offers advice on how to handle her problem but insists that Posey follow through on her own. Like other ethical dilemmas faced in the Princess Posey series of beginning chapter books, this one is right-sized for a first-grader; rooted in a broader story; and handled with a light, sure touch. Posey's shifting emotions are clear to read in the simply written text and the appealing grayscale illustrations. A satisfying addition to the series.

Horn Book

Posey's first-grade class science unit on bees sparks drama when Caitlyn scores both a special bee eraser and the coveted role of Queen Bee in the play. Posey's jealousy leads to poor choices and, ultimately, an important realization: mistakes are okay; it's how one owns up that matters. Bubbly grayscale art adds levity and compassion to Posey's always-relatable trials in this eleventh installment.

Everyone's favorite first grader, Princess Posey, has to fess up to her biggest mistake yet in this eleventh book in the series!

Posey's class has been learning all about bees, and when they plan to put on a play to demonstrate everything they've learned, Posey is thrilled. Posey loves a stage, and she's already got her heart set on the perfect role: the Queen Bee. But when Caitlyn is picked for the Queen Bee, Posey is crushed. Taking matters into her own hands, Posey swipes Caitlyn's special bee eraser when nobody's looking. But after she takes it, she feels worse. Maybe stealing wasn't the right thing to do--but how can she ever make things right? It takes a talk with her mom and a whole lot of courage, but Posey makes an important discovery: owning up to your mistakes is always the right thing to do.
