The Honeybee by Kirsten Hall
4.0
"Tiny honey cells are capped. Liquid gold is sealed and trapped. And only when it's needed most--a hungry day--will these vaults be tapped."
Anything with Isabelle Arsenault's illustrations becomes instantly beautiful. Her drawings immediately match Kirsten Hall's poetry, filled with onomatopoeias, rhymes, and utmost imagination. Together, the poem and illustrations create for us an understanding of how bees make their honey, from early spring through fall. They must collect pollen and nectar and rest and store, not to mention doing a dance to let their friends know where the best pollen is!
Overall, a sweet and beautiful book about some of nature's best bugs.
