Reviews
Bruno the bear keeps bees in this Czech import. Holasova weaves Bruno's activities with his bees in and around a bounty of information about honeybees and their keeping...There is a surprising amount of technical information conveyed in this gentle book; children familiar with beekeeping will recognize the activities depicted, and explanations are both accurate and friendly to children who are not. There is humor in the near-constant cloud of bees around Bruno's head as he works, and beauty as well in lovely botanical watercolors...Utterly bee-guiling. --Kirkus
