'The simple, bold illustrations are attractive and informative, and there’s just the right level of detail to enable young people to understand how a jar of honey is produced.’ Booktrust;‘The bright illustrations and short bursts of clear text make this a good book to use in EYFS to help explain where our food comes from. There’s also a useful comprehension and ‘guess what’ section at the end of the book, which could form the basis of discussion or non-fiction writing ideas.’ School Reading List;‘The story provides simple facts in an easy to understand way - perfect for little ones curious about nature and where their food comes from. In addition to the basics, it's got further information for older children - I also learnt a few things, eg, how the worker bees tell each other where to find the best flowers. A really gorgeous, engaging and colourful non-fiction book for young children.' The Book Deli;'This book will raise environmental awareness and an understanding of how much effort goes into producing our food.' Scope for Imagination;'This is a fantastic way for children to realise how impressive bees are in what they do, and come to respect their self sufficiency as they survive in the insect world' Bookbound
