Last night I overheard my four-year-old daughter giggling with her friend. My daughter said, “Did you know that bees have five eyes?!” They giggled again, and then another tidbit of information was shared. They carried on like two town gossips - but over bee knowledge.
How cute!
So, this book has been a hit! From the simple verbiage to the detailed illustrations, this is a nice choice for cultivating a love for learning/nature.
I’d highly recommend collecting the Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out series for your littles; and because I’m a snob, the vintage hardcover editions.
Ages: 4 - 8
Content Considerations: nothing to note.
**Like my reviews? Then you should follow me! Because I have hundreds more just like this one. With each review, I provide Content Considerations, mentioning any objectionable content I come across so that parents and/or conscientious readers (like me) can determine beforehand whether they want to read a book or not. Content surprises are super annoying, especially when you’re 100+ pages in, so here’s my attempt to help you avoid that!
If you’re considering a book or looking for a new title to read, check out my highly categorized shelves, read my reviews and Friend or Follow me to spiff up your feed with clean, wholesome, living books.

This book is a part of the Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out Science Books series published in the 1960’s.
Being so outdated as it is, I would expect more from a nonfiction picturebook in terms of affordances. The target audience for this title is a little difficult to figure due to the inconsistency in the word to illustration ratio from page to page, and despite being written in a narrative format from the perspective of a young, aspiring bee-watcher, the text is quite dry.
The illustrations are lovely, however, alternating from tri-color to black and white ink sketches of bees, flowers, and the little girl who is watching them. I just don’t see this book holding the attention of a reader when there are so many better, newer options available.

3.5🌟 An informative children’s science book with appealing illustrations. I learned a lot about bees from this book, even though it’s pretty dated. Happy to have it in my collection.
