Today is a day to celebrate bees and their importance in our world. But bees face dangers that can be detrimental to our lives. This picture book has a humorous take on the danger one bee faces because of a bear:
This book is a perfect example of the marriage between text and art in a picture book. The title alone gives you an idea of what this story will be about— a hungry, honey-loving bear will be in some sort of conflict with a bee. And that is what the story is about, but it’s so much more. Daniel Bernstrom’s text is short—only 116 words—just enough to tell the story, yet it has the humor, rhythm, and repetition that makes this a brilliant read-aloud for little ones. Then the art! Brandon James Scott’s bright, expressive illustrations have a honey glow on every page that tell a story beyond the words that, again, make the book a brilliant read-aloud. Run, don’t walk, to grab yourself a copy of this fun book!
