Being a Bee (2017)
by Jinny Johnson and Lucy Davey
This beautiful children’s book gives information about bees on each page. Not an overwhelming amount, but definitely educational and interesting. It has the feel of a picture book, but the added bonus of teaching us more about bees. There are great tips and resources at the end as well! Definitely one to check out if you’re interested in studying bees.
The Honeybee
words by Kirsten Hall, illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault (2018)
This is one of my favorite of the bee books we checked out while studying bees. In this picture book, the author uses catchy, flowing poetry to show readers the journey of a bee’s season. It’s beautifully told and beautifully illustrated and designed. The book ends with information and tips for appreciating and protecting bees. Such an important book for our young ones to read, but also such an enjoyable one.
Beehive (2020)
by Jorey Hurley
This book’s pages are simple, containing just one word per page. But it is such a gorgeous way to tell the readers about a bee’s journey. Overly simple books can be very hit or miss, but this one is a definite winner. The author’s note at the end shares more information about each of the steps shown in the book. I can’t wait to check out more by Jorey Hurley!
