This warm, appealing picture book about bee-keeping (and grandparenting) is a delight from beginning to end. The text is spare and rhythmic, perfect for reading aloud, and the illustrations are full of bright colors and cheerfully inviting. Bees tend to fascinate young children, even if they frighten them; this book offers an insightful, reassuring look at the pleasures of bee-keeping for a little girl and her grandfather.

Krebs has written a delightful book that brings to life a glowing glimpse of "The Beeman." Seen through the eyes of a grandchild, this book invokes a warm town as gentle bee-keeping facts are given. Her book is an excellent addition to a family library or a classroom's apiary unit. I can't wait to see her other books.

Well written book for beekeepers children or grand children with exposure to life and importance of honeybees.

My grandpa was a beeman so this book was wonderful to read and share with my daughter. Beautiful pictures and accurate information.

This is another great book for a Kindergarten classroom. We read the book during our Insect Unit then we enjoyed blueberry muffins and of course HONEY.
