A Bear's guide to Beekeeping by Pip Cornell illustrated by Alex G Griffiths


This book is filled with facts about bees and honey (mostly on the end papers). The main pages of the book are so funny as the author tries to teach a bear how to become a beekeeper. This is a perfect book for your youngest readers and it's a fun guide book for bears too or one huge bear in this case. We all know bears love honey. This guide book covers all the things a bear (and human) needs to know about bees - finding bees; building a hive; setting up a hive; the role of the queen bee; and how to use all that honey. AND you are sure to adore the twist on the final page too.

Here are a set of teachers notes from Andersen Press for A Bear's guide to Beekeeping. It is a measure of the importance of bees in our world that there are SO many books for children about bees. This one A bear's guide to Beekeeping has such an inviting cover and every page has tiny details which will delight your young reading companion. The paperback edition of this book will be published in 2023. I recommend you add this to your book shopping list.  Here is my Pinterest collection.   I have previously talked about these:
