This is Isabelle Arsenault's latest offering. Her illustrations are luminous, joyful and so full of love. Hall's story of how bees life, work and make the world a better place is made even more meaningful.

This was just...not my cup of tea. The verse didn't jive for me and the illustrations were sweet, but odd.

I'm fascinated by all things bee, and this charming book delivers basic information on how pollen and nectar are turned into honey. The beautiful text reflects the busy life of bees. It rhymes in sections and is loaded with alliteration and other poetic devices. It sure worked for me.
Then there are Isabelle Arsenault's gorgeous illustrations. Her work is breathtaking. Her bees are whimsical, but it's her landscapes and fields of flowers that are just glorious.

This book is excellent! I loved the unusual color palette, it's educational for kids (and probably most adults), and it is so wonderful to read out loud! The cadence and rhyming are really fun.
