WOW! This is an amazing book! Fred lives in New York and keeps bees on his roof. The beautiful illustrations follow the bees in their quest for nectar. The author uses many literary devices: similes, onomatopoeia, and imagery. She weaves factual information into the story line. The inside covers have detailed illustrations of the queen, worker, and drone bees along with the inside of hives. The book ends with a two page spread of information about beekeeping and honey collecting. This would be great with a science unit or a biome/life interaction unit.
