For the Budding Environmentalist by Eco Mama's Guide To Living Green 5 Stars
September 13, 2009
Bee and Me, by Elle McGuinness, is a heartwarming tale of a boy's chance encounter with honey bee. When one accidentally flies into his house and the two meet, the little boy learns just how important bees are. At first he is frightened, but the bee is friendly and explains that bees not only bring no harm to humans, but describes the dreary place the world would be without bees. The boy is somewhat transformed and the bee flies off happily. In the back of the book is a little fact section with interesting bee facts.
With lovely illustrations by Heather Brown, and Animotion (the images move when you turn the page--the dog runs, the bee flies, a flower blooms, etc.), Bee and Me is a sweet story that inspires appreciation for the natural world. My four year old son wants to read it over and over.
With Colony Collapse Disorder looming, I think this is a gentle way to impress upon our younger generations the symbiotic relationship we have with bees and nature. Bee and Me makes a great read for any budding environmentalist. Highly recommended.

Bee & Me by Elaine M. Campbell 5 Stars
June 17, 2009
This book was purchased for preschool use (3-5 yrs). The children feared the bees in the playground, they would run and scream at the site of one. The illustration were child friendly and the animotion was what held their attention. They came to understand the importance of bees and learned that we can live without fear of them.

Bee & Me: An Animotion Experience
I bought two of these books, one for my 4 year old granddaughter and one for my 5 year old granddaughter. Both girls adore these books, and so do their older brother and sister. The pictures are wonderful... so fun to see the creatures actually moving! There is also so much information included about the bees. This book is a wonderful choice for children. Interesting, informative, and fun!
