A sweet and educational tale with a surprisingly emotional end, made even better with vibrant colors.
This book is absolutely delightful! Is kind of fiction — a story told from the point of view of a worker bee. It’s also a explanation of the lifecycle of bees. It’s funny, charming, and informative.
Okay, this was really hecking cute. I did not expect this book to bee (sorry, I promise that's the only time I'm going to do that) so enjoyable. I've seen it advertised as a children's book, but it's definitely for older kids. It's full of science as well as humor, stuff even I - a Big Bad Adult - had to go back and reread a couple of times. But it's a GREAT book. I learned so much about how bees work, and I wasn't bored once! It's honestly amazing how the author managed to give these bees - each drawn pretty much exactly the same - so much personality. I'm still giggling with delight over bee shenanigans. The art is fantastic as well. Vivid and detailed, extremely captivating.
