In the Trees, Honey Bees (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781584691150)

Here is the ideal introduction for preschoolers and early elementary children to insects that are not only amazing but also critically important to humans.

Inside the hive views of a wild colony of honey bees offer close ups of the queen, the cells, even bee eggs. Simple verse will engage a young child, while sidebars with fascinating information satisfy the somewhat older child. Parents, teachers, and kids will love this picture book. The detailed art shimmers with life, highlighting each hair or grain of pollen on the bees. A wild hive in a tree in her own backyard served as a model for the artist!

Backmatter includes:

• further information about wild and domestic hives.
• information on how to learn more about honey bees.
