Reviews

Booklist

“. . . excellent, large-scale pictures in colored pencil . . . clearly written . . . first-rate. The clean look of the book and the detailed drawings make this a most attractive first look at bees.”
—Booklist

Library Media Connection

“The youngest naturalist will love the detailed and highly accurate illustrations of bees. Preschool listeners will enjoy the soft narrative . . . Older listeners will enjoy the answers to more technical questions. . . Children encounter bees regularly, mostly learning to avoid stingers. After reading this book, the next meeting with a bee in their garden will be one of respect. Recommended.”
