My 7 year old son recently borrowed this book from his school library.

The book describes what bumble bees are, how they look, and what they do. The book has simple text and colorful photographs. It also includes a glossary, information on more books about bumble bees, and internet sites to find out more items related to this book.

My son needed very little help reading this book. A good non-fiction book for children to begin learning about bumble bees.

I started out asking the children what they knew about bumble bees and then talked about the kind of book we were reading-- nonfiction. I explained that they would be learning some facts and information and asked them to try to remember a fact about bees. After the book, then we reviewed some of the facts. I used some finger-plays from this website:
