“Helpful friends make mighty superheroes. Offering an introduction to spatial thinking, this story explores cooperation and bee conservation and teaches simple methods for assisting nature’s vital pollinators . . . . The colorful, lively illustrations are appealing; the animal protagonists are expressive and sympathetic. Winsome lessons in problem-solving and collaboration.”—Kirkus Reviews
