The Bee Book

K-Gr 2--How many honey bees does it take to make just one teaspoon of honey? How many eyes does a honeybee have? Why do we need bees to pollinate flowers? And, most importantly, what would we do without the honeybees? Milner easily answers these questions and many more in this fabulous title about nature's hardest worker--the honeybee. She seamlessly weaves amazing facts about bees into a discussion on their significance to our everyday lives and what we can do to help save them from disappearing. From the vintage-looking front cover to the playful artwork on the inside pages, Millner's illustrations will delight readers of all ages. This is perfect for adults and children to read together, especially to ignite conversations about the role bees play in food production and how we can help these incredible creatures. VERDICT An excellent addition for libraries of all sizes and a must-read for young people who are ready to do their part to save the amazing honeybee.--Joy Poynor, Farmington Public Library, AR
