5.0 out of 5 stars An underlying environmental lesson told through a thoroughly kid-friendly and engaging storyline, October 11, 2008

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bee & Me: An Animotion Experience (Board book)

A unique and ground-breaking children's book, "Bee & Me" has an underlying environmental lesson told through a thoroughly kid-friendly and engaging storyline by Elle J. McGuinness, and superbly enhanced by the lively and colorful art work of Heather Brown. Throughout the book are images that move by simply turning the page. The publishing technology that enables this is called 'Ani-motion' and will total absorb young readers of all ages and reading levels. "Bee & Me" is the story of a young boy who is able to overcome his fear of bees when he meets and talks to one, who informs him about all the good that bees do for the world. Superbly written, unique, and delightfully (as well as animatedly) illustrated, "Bee & Me" is highly recommended for family picturebook collections.

This review is from: Bee & Me: An Animotion Experience (Board book)

When I first saw the cover of this book, I assumed that it would be a mediocre story with a cute gimmick, like most "gimmicky" books. This one is a rare exception. It has wonderful, varied vocabulary in rhyme form. The animation is phenomenal, and the story itself accurately describes what a bee does. It's not too long or drawn out, so it's perfect for three's and four's. The informational pages at the end offer more detailed facts.
The only thing that some might find a negative is the bee dance is not portrayed accurately. It's portrayed as a booty shake, which I thought was cute, but it's not what a bee dance actually looks like. I made sure to tell my kids what it would look like in real life. Not a big deal, but since this is a science book, I thought I'd point it out.
