This was all about the honeybee, which I loved. This is another "clear-page" book for Kindergarten.

(Nonfiction) This is a good nonfiction book because it provides a lot of examples, real-life pictures and definitions. However, I think this is a very difficult book to understand, especially at a young elementary age. It may even be too difficult for older elementary. Some of the things I read were even confusing for me to take in, unless I read it a few times. I know that with books or any lesson, teachers should teach students vocabulary and increase their vocabulary, however, there are some words that I think are well over early elementary, or even later elementary level, such as nectar, pollen, propolis, antennae, larvae, and mating. However, I could imagine possibly using this book in a later elementary science lesson, after explaining the terms first. The book does a great job of describing and deomonstrating how functions and lifestyles of he bees work.

Die seiten sind etwas arg überladen für kleine kinder.

These First Discovery Books are so beautiful and are great non-fiction books for level 1/2 readers!
O says his favorite part was the cool picture of a termite mound!
