Bees: What Do You Know About Bees? is a great addition to any child's bookshelf. I would definitely recommend it for any budding entomologists. It is filled with interesting facts and beautiful pictures to keep readers engaged.Children learn everything about bees - anatomy to bee-keeping to the different types of bees. Carol Miller does not bog each page down with words - she provides the most important information in an efficient manner that isn't intimidating for a child. Following all of the informative text, there are fun facts about bees and a comprehension quiz about what was read. The quiz is 10 questions long and it's a great tool for recall (and answers are provided in case someone else quizzes the child and didn't read the book).The book is targeted to ages 7-12, and the writing hits that mark. The text is easy to understand for the intended audience. I read this title on a first generation Kindle Fire and it looks great. The pictures are clear and large enough for children to study them. As a youth librarian, I would recommend this book to boys and girls who have even a slight interest in bees.
