I love Britta Teekentrup's picture books. Tree is one of my favourites and we've borrowed Moon from the library multiple times. This is new board book edition of Bee is really sweet and perfect for little hands.
Bee is a peek-through book with cut outs, so the reader can follow the same little bee as it journeys through the countryside, spreading pollen between flowers and leaving an explosion of colourful petals in its wake.
The art work is bright and beautiful, with lovely scenes of wildflower meadows and blossom covered trees. My five-year-old and I spent a long time looking at the detail in the final page. The words are also soft and lyrical, making this perfect for bedtime as it's soothing to read aloud. The final words "For every plant and flower you see was given life by one small bee" stress the vital importance of bees, making this story a true celebration of nature's tiny miracle.
Bee is written and illustrated by Britta Teekentrup
Thank you Little Tiger Group for sending me a copy to review
