## Description

desertcart.com: The Honeybee (Honeybee and Friends): 9781481469975: Hall, Kirsten, Arsenault, Isabelle: Books

Review: A stunning and Sweet Celebration of Bees - The Honeybee by Kirsten Hall, with illustrations by Isabelle Arsenault, is an absolute delight from start to finish. The story follows the journey of a little bee buzzing from flower to flower, bringing to life the critical role these tiny creatures play in our world. The lyrical, vibrant text makes it a joy to read aloud, and the rhythmic flow will easily capture the attention of both children and adults. What truly makes this book shine, though, is the breathtaking artwork. Isabelle Arsenault’s illustrations are soft, warm, and rich with detail, creating imagery that feels almost alive on the page. Every spread is a work of art that invites readers to pause and soak in the beauty. This is more than just a picture book—it’s a gentle, engaging way to teach children about the importance of honeybees and their place in our ecosystem. The Honeybee is a must-have for any home, classroom, or library, and it’s one I’ll be coming back to again and again.
Review: Cute book!! Beautifully illustrated - I used this for people to sign for my daughters 1st BEE day and it was precious!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The pictures and the poetry
*by B***A on September 10, 2018*

What do I love about THE HONEYBEE, written by Kirsten Hall with illustrations by Isabelle Arsenault? EVERYTHING--starting with the cover, which introduces a wide-eyed, smiling honeybee flying above a meadow chock full of wildflowers. When I open the book my eyes land on the magnified black and yellow strips of the bee's belly, a gorgeous piece of art work that could hang in MOMA. Then, already stung by the visual bite of this pictures, my poetry-loving eyes land on the lyrical words. BZZZZZZ says the bee. The book takes us from summer through autumn through winter to spring, when once again an abundance of flowers pours out through the sprinkling of wonderful words. Wild. Free. ZOOOOOOOOOM. Shhhh. Do you hear it? Then POW here she comes again, larger than life, still smiling, still wide-eyed, and back on the job. She locates the nectar, twists and turns in the pollen, insuring the propagation of more and more flowers. Clearly and comprehensively, the book covers the life cycle of the honeybee, including the mysterious dance that draws sister bees to the nectar. This glorious book, full of art, poems and science, is the first of many, I hope, from this talented pair.
