Spotlight on honey bees in this adorable, STEM nonfiction picture book series that encourages very young readers to learn--through gentle interactivity and play--about the animals who share their world

Swish, swoosh, fly! You might have heard the words "busy as a bee," but what do bees actually do each day? Did you know bees clean their rooms, help feed baby bees, and build the hive they live in? From birth to first flight and beyond, discover all that goes into being a bee in this charming picture book, the first in the Meet Your World series.

This playful and informative series invites you to take a closer look at the amazing animals that live right alongside you in rural, suburban, and urban landscapes across North America. In each book, words and art inspire you to act out animal actions that are not so different from your own habits. And robust backmatter offers even more facts and fun. From the animals' families and foods to their environments and behaviors, let's meet your world!

Praise for this book

"Of great value . . . Useful . . . Wonderful . . . The hardworking life of a honey bee is shown through lively text and colorful illustrations which offer significant information." --SLJ

"The Meet Your World series, which opened with You Are a Honey Bee! and You Are a Raccoon! [and You Are a Robin!], offers young children information about animals that they might see in their yard or neighborhood park. The engaging, second-person narrative provides intriguing facts without becoming too detailed, while further information [appears] in the back matter." --
