Beans on Toast - The Fascinating Adventures of Little Bee

UK group Beans on Toast is back with a new album, a children's album paired with a book series. The band will release The Fascinating Adventures of Little Bee on Dec.1 via Play on Words Publishing.

The album, naturally, follows an animated hero named Little Bee through a series of adventures. The books are aimed at a 2-10 year-old audience, 10 books in total. The books were inspired by the artists own role as a father.

The group will embark on a short UK tour complete with coauthors Jaime and Lily Adamsfield, plus Beans' daughter, Wren, and kids-focused activities.

Beans on Toast last released Survival of the Friendliest in 2021. Read a pre-parenting 2014 interview with Beans on Toast here.
