Reviews
"Of great value . . . Useful . . . Wonderful . . . The hardworking life of a honey bee is shown through lively text and colorful illustrations which offer significant information." --SLJ "The Meet Your World series, which opened with You Are a Honey Bee! and You Are a Raccoon! [and You Are a Robin!], 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." --
