Synopsis

Follow the astonishing journey of a worker bee as she grows from an egg to a hungry larva and then, hidden from view, transforms into a hard working bee. From the moment she chews her way out of her cell she doesn't stop - first as a cleaner, builder, nanny and guard bee, then as a honey producer and pollen collector. This inventive title, with its cleverly designed holes, will spark interest on every page. Specially written for little children, it is perfect for a first introduction to the truly spectacular wonders of nature.
