An enormous bee named Jerry unintentionally terrifies everyone he meets. After donning a wig that makes him look human, he wins over the town. There's an added surprise when it's revealed that the wig is actually a guinea pig. The cleanly composed digitally combined ink and acrylic illustrations, which are as goofy as the story line, reinforce Jerry's lovability.
