The Honeybee Man by Lela Nargi

5.0

You don't often think of the writing in picture books as being beautiful or even noteworthy. More often than not, it's the story itself or the lesson, or the beautiful, humorous, or moody illustrations that stand out to readers.

In this lovely picture book by Lela Nargi and Kyrsten Brooker, however, the writing is the standout. It is full of such lush, sensory details, that you can hear the bees buzzing, see them collecting nectar, and then you can taste the sweet honey.

This would be a perfect mentor text to use in the classroom when talking about sensory details.
