A sure sign of Spring is when we see bees flying flower to flower, buzzing and humming, busy with work. “I Am a Bee” takes children, preschool, kindergarten, and first-grade, on a journey of learning the importance of bees in the world we live. Watching a bee for a few seconds, it’s easy to see where the term ‘busy bee’ comes from. They work nonstop building and taking care of their colony. Small but determined, these insects are crucial to the health and wellbeing of our ecosystem. From the food we depend on for survival to the beauty of the colorful flowers and trees that make up our environment, bees are a vital part of the web of life. “I Am a Bee” teaches basic environmental and biological concepts for kids ages 3 to 7. Vibrant images that match easy to follow facts help children learn beginning science on the life of a honey bee. This bee book for kids explores the life of a honey bee. Children will learn about the hierarchy of the colony: the different positions that bees fill, the work that needs to be done, the steps to accomplish the work, and how the work benefits the bees as a whole, along with the rest of the creatures in the environment. Kids will also learn about the hive, its structure, and what it stores, and so much more. “I Am a Bee” is an excellent book about bees for kids that teaches important bee facts in a way that captures kids’ attention. Children follow the life of a bee with a smiling main character that explains colony life first-hand. From the work that has to be done, to a bee’s favorite food of honey and pollen and the honeycomb that it’s all stored in, the little worker bee describes what it’s like to be a honey bee. Big, bright images and large print make this a great read-aloud book for children in homeschool, traditional and Montessori classrooms. The basic concepts presented encourage preschoolers, kindergarteners, and first-graders to follow along. Questions at the back of the book revisit topics to promote scientific thought and reinforce learning. How do honey bees help plants and people? What do honey bees eat? How do bees communicate? What do bees do during winter? Find the answer to these questions and many more. “I Am a Bee” goes well with many science activities for kids ages 3-7, ranging from creating a pollen transfer between construction paper bees flying to flowers, or to building an egg-carton hive, along with many possibilities for art activities creating bees and labeling their anatomy. Kids can learn all about bees while still enjoying the imaginative character that makes fuzzy, yellow honey bees a favorite with children. Bees are a special and enjoyable insect for parents looking for a bug book for kids ages 3-5. “I Am a Bee” also touches on topics of conservation and a healthy environment, helping kids understand the human responsibility and impact of actions when it comes to considering and caring about these very important insects. “Wonderful bee book for helping my granddaughter overcome her fear of bees.” For more STEM books for young children, check out these other titles: I Am a Frog, I Am Spring, I Am a Dinosaur, I Am Tyrannosaurus Rex, and I Am the Solar System, and many more... Review: Learning About Nature is Fun! - So cute, and very nice quality! I purchased this (and a "I am a Bee" book) for a young friend's Easter basket. The book is educational, in easy-to-understand terms, and the illustrations are outstanding. I'm delighted with my purchase! Review: Perfect for little ones fascinated with bees! - I bought this for my 3 & 1/2 year old nephew for Christmas because he is fascinated with bees. He LOVED it! He stopped opening presents when he saw this and had me read the whole thing to him before he would resume opening presents. The illustrations are very cute and it is very informative of what bees do and how important they are, which is very important for our new generation to know and understand. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone with children.

This has become the kids favorite book!
They love to have this read to them, and listen intently as I read it. Their favorite part is at the end where there is a "quiz" They take turns answering the questions and then we go over the definitions and I ask them questions about those to. Very educational and a fun read too! ages 3 and 6

Good book
Good story telling about the honey bees. It tells the job of the queen bees drone and worker it gives basic information at a level the child will understand, tells what pollen and nectar are how the bee caries them and how some drop while he is flying back to hive and pollinates other plants. Mind you this is all written at a child’s level and it is not in-depth. But for toddler and pre and school age child I think it would be good

Each page has a clear simple message.
I like that there is one clear pinpoint about honeybees on each page. This will be a great book in our first grade classroom. There is plenty of room for children to think and come up with their own questions. THe writing is simple with plenty of information, so it does not overwhelm yet is a good teaching resource. The illustrations are descriptive in themselves. For example, the magnified honeycomb shape leaves clearly shows the hexagonal shapes, which is always something I love sharing. Great book for the classroom.
