Critics Review

Praise for You Are a Honey Bee“Of great value … Useful … Wonderful … The hardworking life of a honey bee is shown through lively text and colorful illustrations which offer significant information.” —School Library JournalPraise for the Meet Your World Series“A truly wonderful book that not only pulls readers in with a cute tale about animals but also incorporates activities that mimic the lives of raccoons—all while being educational! … This is truly a perfect blend of education and fun with the addition of adorable illustrations.” —School Library Journal (You Are a Raccoon)“Exceptionally adorable … Part of a series that spotlights familiar North American animals, the book deftly connects natural human children’s activities to raccoon behaviors without engaging in anthropomorphism… . Spare text on each page is accessible for emerging readers, and the full-color art’s soothing palette makes this ideal for a bedtime story… . Naturalistic and charming.” —Kirkus (You Are a Raccoon)“The Meet Your World series, which opened with You Are a Honey Bee! and You Are a Raccoon!, offers young children information about animals that they might see in their yard or neighborhood park. The engaging, second-person narrative provides intriguing facts without becoming too detailed, while further information [appears] in the back matter. With bright, lively illustrations, here’s an inviting introduction to robins, one of North America’s most familiar birds.” —Booklist (You Are a Robin)
