My Mom gave my son this book. I love the Usborne books she has given us, they are such good quality and so far pretty sturdy.

This first questions and answers book about bees is a fun lift the flap book filled with facts about bees and why they are so important, and how we can help keep them alive.

The kindergartners were very interested in this lift-the-flap non-fiction book. Lots of good information behind the flaps: pollination, honey, the hive. My favorite page was the one that showed the different homes for bees.
