These Bees Count!

How do bees count? The bees at the Busy Bee Farm buzz through the sky as one big swarm, fly over two waving dandelions, find three wild strawberries dripping tasty nectar... As the children in Mr. Tate's class listen, they learn how bees work to produce honey and make food and flowers grow. Bees count—they're important to us all. Alison Formento's gentle message is illustrated with Sarah Snow's bright, realistic papercuts.
