They Work is an incredible book all about bees!

The illustrations are beautiful and informative. I loved that each page has simple language to teach about bees along with a more detailed fact for older readers. Which means children can read this book and learn new information as they age.

The book was incredibly informative and provided new information I never new before. Like we all know that bees pollinate flowers but did you know that humans depend on pollination for about 1/3 of our food?? That fact was mind blowing to mean.

Excellent book, I would love to add this to my children's science bookshelf!

I will be purchasing this book immediately for my preschool class when it becomes available for our unit about bees and pollination!

The pictures are lovely and so descriptive of what the book is explaining.

My favorite part is the duel narrative, with a short story segment on each page, but then also a longer more descriptive and informative explanation. It gives the best of both worlds. There are days my class is only going to sit through a short story, but the pages are engaging enough that they will still be learning the basic concepts. But then if we have some questions or a class that is really engaged, we can go deeper and read the longer descriptions as well. It really adapts well for classroom use and multiple needs. And I always love a good bee book!

Thank you to NetGalley and Familius for allowing me to read and review this copy!

Very informative and lovely illustrations. I think most ages would enjoy this book and learn about the different jobs and needs of honey bees.

What a beautiful introduction to honeybees! The author does a wonderful job of explaining the many jobs that bees do, from feeding the larvae to gathering pollen to protecting their hive. The illustrations are simply stunning, with such a memorable, nostalgic feel to them.

All in all, this book is a great way to get kids interested in bees and create an awareness for just how much they do.

(Thank you to the author and NetGalley for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.)
