Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 1-3. From the All Aboard Science Reader series, this easy-to-read volume introduces honeybees. Printed in large type, the informative text explains topics such as how the bees divide their communal work, the ways in which they are well adapted to their tasks, bee growth and development, and honey production. Generally large in scale to show details of the bees and their hive, the colorful paintings are attractive as well as useful. The consistent use of a light background for type makes the text stand out clearly. Appealing as well as accessible. Carolyn Phelan

I'm a first grade teacher. I have been teaching a unit on insects to my class of 19 6 and 7 year olds.As part of comparing insects and learning about them, I read "Honeybees" to to my class. This book has so much information about honeybees. The illustrations are beautiful. The facts about the bees are simple for first graders to understand yet very accurate. A wonderful book for children from 6-8.
