Charles Micucci's introduction to the life-cycle, social organisation and history of the honeybee and its association with humankind is written in a scientific and humorous style. The book includes abundant illustrations. This witty and informative salute to the honeybee uses clear, lively text and detailed full-color illustrations to present a wide range of interesting, and sometimes amusing, facts about the life cycle, work, and history of one of the world's most useful insects. 'Information about honeybees has never been more interesting . . .Right on target for young readers.' 'A solid, fascinating treasure trove of bee stuff, as enriching to the mind as it is pleasing to the eye. Micucci's book is a wonderful example of how good children's nonfiction can really be.' |
