Nice book about one of my favorite creatures.

O.K., so it's springtime, and I thought it'd be a real good idea to learn some stuff about BEES, and this one looked like it was easy enough.
But it was a little TOO easy. So there's that problem.
But then the other thing is, they don't say ANYTHING about stinging or honey. And those seem like important facts about bees. Like how do they make honey and why do they sting? Those are the bee facts I wanna know.
But then I figured part of that out. You know why I bet there's nothing about stinging? Because this is a real easy book, and that means it's for real little kids, and maybe the guy who wrote it thought that if they put stuff in it about stinging, it'd be too scary and those kids would never want to go outside. And there's pictures, too, and they're real big, and that was a good part, but what little kid wants to see a huge picture of a huge stinger?
So that's why for the stinging.
But I still don't get why there's nothing about honey.

Each page has a real picture of a bumble bee, and describes what the highlighted body parts do in an easy to understand manner. Each page has one word sentences, filled with easy to read words.
The author has a series of informational texts, including Lady Bugs, Grasshoppers, Ants, and many more.
