About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Itty Bitty Betty, the Storytelling Honeybee, takes children on an educational adventure introducing young and old alike to the real "buzz" about honeybees. With Betty as a guide, young readers learn that the honeybee is the state insect of seventeen states; that bees can fly backwards, forwards, and sideways; and that one out of every three mouthfuls of food we eat is a direct result of bee pollination-pretty heavy stuff for such tiny little insects. Even better, did you know that honey is the only food made by insects and it never spoils? Sweet! Nationally known beekeeper Jim Ovbey makes a cameo appearance in one of Betty's tales giving fun details on swarming bees in search of a new home. Betty's stories are illustrated with beautifully painted representations of bees and their habits, and enhanced by key word definitions and explanations of bee customs. Filled with interesting facts, this story from the littlest of bees gives us plenty to think about.

Kathy Coates considers art above all a unique emotional expression and hopes that each child who experiences her art will be blessed by her illustrations. Illustrating is a natural way for Coates, who was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, to combine her love of art, the South, and the natural world.
