Backyard Books: Are You a Bee?

This colorful first nature picture book, written by Judy Allen and illustrated by Tudor Humphries, gives children aged 4 to 7 an inside look at the everyday life of a honeybee.

Ideal for reading aloud or as a first reader, the detailed illustrations bring this familiar creature to life in a truly memorable way. Children will discover how a young bee faces many challenges as it takes its place in the hive and joins in the work of the bee community. They will learn about honeybee life cycles and behavior, and the witty, interactive text will encourage them to explore the similarities and differences between themselves and these fascinating animals.

And if you love insects, why not collect all ten titles in the Backyard Books series?
