Give Bees a Chance
Description
Give Bees a Chance is a book by Bethany Barton that highlights the importance of bees in the world. Through interactive cartoon-style illustrations and a humorous narrator, the book provides facts about how bees contribute to the ecosystem by making honey and helping plants grow fruits and vegetables. It also addresses common fears about bees and encourages appreciation and protection of these essential creatures, especially since they are now on the endangered animals list. From the author-illustrator of Children's Choice Book Award Winner I'm Trying to Love Spiders: a plea to please give bees a chance! The book is for anyone who doesn't quite appreciate how extra special and important bees are to the world, and even to humankind! Besides making yummy honey, they help plants grow fruits and vegetables. Most bees wouldn't hurt a fly (unless it was in self-defense!). With bees officially on the endangered animals list, it's more important now than ever to get on board with our flying, honey-making friends!
