"Daphne's Bees is an essential book for studentslearning about nature and the importance of pollinators. It's informative andfun, and includes a lighthearted story with painted illustrations. The littlebees and flowers look realistic, and you can tell that the illustrations areactual paintings, with their pencil outlines, canvas texture, and thick paintstrokes. My grandfather used to keep bees, and I know that if I had read thisbook several years ago I would've immediately wanted to help him take care ofhis hives!" -- Bronte L., Grade 9, guest reviewer for CanLit forLittleCanadians (read the full review)
