“If you need science material to support a standards-based inquiry science program, look no further. This is an accurate and well-organized series. Questions propel the text in these books. Each title contains an activity for a hands-on science experience that can be done with easily acquired items. The illustrations expand the text and reinforce topics covered. Every title in this series will appeal to the curious child who always asks why and how.” (Library Media Connection)
“Five chapters … present simple explanations followed by a “Now I Know!” question that tests readers on the information presented. As well as explaining how honey is made, Bees describes how the insects help to pollinate flowers. … One or two large, well-captioned color photographs are provided per spread. [The] book concludes with an activity. Solid introduction.” (School Library Journal)
