Format:Paperback
An excellent book from 'Barefoot books'. My son loves bees ever since watching 'Bee movie' so when I came across this book I just knew my son would love it. The illustrations in this book are lovely. The book starts with a poem by Aileen Fischer and ends with 'Grandma's Apple and Honey muffins' - just beautiful.
Format:Paperback
This is the best childrens book ever for anyone who has anything to do with bees. We have a share in some bee hives and our 4 yr old just LOVEs this book. It is technically correct (which pleases my husband!), yet written in a lovely poetic way that all children will love!

A honey of a book
4 Sep 2002
Format:Hardcover
This warm, appealing picture book about bee-keeping (and grandparenting) is a delight from beginning to end. The text is spare and rhythmic, perfect for reading aloud, and the illustrations are full of bright colors and cheerfully inviting. Bees tend to fascinate young children, even if they frighten them; this book offers an insightful, reassuring look at the pleasures of bee-keeping for a little girl and her grandfather.

A stunning first book written by a talented FABULOUS author!
23 Nov 2002
Format:Hardcover
Krebs has written a delightful book that brings to life a glowing glimpse of "The Beeman." Seen through the eyes of a grandchild, this book invokes a warm town as gentle bee-keeping facts are given. Her book is an excellent addition to a family library or a classroom's apiary unit. I can't wait to see her other books.
Excellent
