The Honey Bee

Written by Kirsten Hall, illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault

I LOVE THESE BEES! The narration is flighty like a buzzing around bee, short bits of motion here, then there. You learn so much from this book too! You learn about the busy stuff a bee does at a flower, the dancing in the hive, the working of the pollen to get it sticky and sweet, the saving it in honeycomb cells for later. It’s all just beautifully illustrated. I love Isabelle’s work, so I’m biased. There is a warm and fuzzy air to her work. The spot color for the pollen is just perfect. It warms up everything even more. I couldn’t have done it any better. Just lovely!
