The latest edition to the 'Smithsonian Backyard' series of nature books for young readers, Laura Gates Galvin's 'Bumblebee at Apple Tree Lane' is the charming and informative story of a bumblebee awakening from a winter-long hibernation in the backyard of the stone-and-wood cottage on Apple Tree Lane. She works hard during the spring and summer cleaning the nest, laying eggs, providing food for the larvae, etc. In the fall the young queens hibernate underground and the following spring the life cycle of the bumblebee colony begins all over. This accurate presentation of the life cycle of the bumblebee is superbly illustrated in shining color with the vividly accurate artistry if Kristen Kest. This outstanding wildlife storybook is also available with a companion read-along audio-cassette tape and realistically designed stuffed animal toy in an interactive presentation for those who would prefer more than this simple, elegant, very highly recommended picture book. --Midwest Book Review
