""This book is so sweet and beautifully illustrated. It teaches about bees and not to be afraid, but also features a wise and loving father figure and strong father-child relationship. It's bright and child-friendly and tells a story with both pictures and words! The close-up drawing of four bees for comparison is just amazing and so fun to talk about with children. This is a book you can read with children, grandchildren, or students in a classroom and have a great discussion about bees and nature in general."" ""What a cute little book. It is so informational and something to share with children to learn to not be afraid of bees. My daughter plans to use it at school with 1st and 2nd graders when they do their health walk outside. The illustrations are wonderful. I would highly recommend getting this for any children. I am getting it for my grandchildren."" ""Don't Fear the Bees is a charming book written to teach young readers the importance of bees and to not be afraid of them, and if you have ever spent time in a classroom with youngsters when a bee is present, you'll understand the value the lessons contained therein. Written in engaging verse that flows easily and is fun to say, and accompanied by beautifully crafted illustrations, Don't Fear the Bees is that rare children's book that both educates and is a delight to look at."" ""Beautifully illustrated book with warm, summery colors and a simple theme: how bees help us. The gentle rhyme along with the sweet relationship between father and daughter are educational and reassuring. One exceptional page spread shows a close-up of four different bees. If children point out the differences, then (hopefully), next time they see a bee, they can try to identify it, rather than running and screaming. I work in an elementary school and plan to share this with my primary students."" ""What an awesome book! Don't Fear the Bees is so well written and explained for all children, whether they have a fascination about bees or afraid of them! My grandchildren are afraid of bees, so this book is perfect! The beautiful illustrations sets the tone for this book!"" ""Such a wonderful resource to help little ones to understand bees are not out to just sting us. My granddaughter absolutely loved it."" ""Captivating, educational, and beautiful to look at! This book is a joy to read and truly helps little ones (and probably some big ones, too) understand the wonderful role of bees!!! The drawings are AMAZING!!!!"" ""Such a great little book to teach kids about bees. Easy to read and very well illustrated!"" ""Excellent book for a kiddo! The art feels so real and natural."" ""Super cute and beautiful illustrations!!! This was such a great book for my 8 and 5 year old to hear!""
