Robert ★★★★★

My 4-year-old asks for this one almost every night, and the seven pages of endnotes at the back have actual facts about honeybees that I didn't even know. The grandpa-and-grandson framing keeps it sweet without feeling preachy.

Sofia F. ★★★★★

The rhyming text makes it an easy read-aloud, and those seven pages of endnotes turned out to be the best part—my son now corrects me on what worker bees actually do. I didn't expect a picture book to teach me something too.

Emily L. ★★★★★

My 4-year-old asks for this one every night, and I've actually learned a thing or two about hive hierarchy from the endnotes myself. Seven pages of facts at the back is way more than I expected from a picture book.
