The Bee

The Bee

Illustrated by Lee Ernst

This awesome picture book allows one to follow along on the journey of one busy bee! This bee leaves his hive to fly high in the sky! He stops to look at the flowers, visit his dog friend, and even toughs out the rain. This short picture book contains so much information that would be great to use with pre-readers.

I think this book would be really great to use when learning colors. The colors are spelled out and even illustrated throughout the book. As the bee progresses throughout his journey, he is shown new colors. With so few words, this story leaves a lot of room for imagination. This would be great to do a discussion with. You could ask the students several questions. What is the bee thinking? Where is he going? What else do you think he saw? What other colors do you think he saw?

Take this bee-utiful journey and find out!
