About this title

Review

There isn't a single word in this book but every picture speaks volumes... tells you all you need to know about the life cycle of the bee and why they are so important... we can't recommend this book highly enough. * @thebookbag * A hopeful tale of friendship and flower power...No-one likes to be stung and it looks like the bee might be all over before the story's even begun. Fortunately, a crack in the door of curiosity and bravery opens up the way for a joint adventure bringing plants and flowers across the grey city, delivering beauty and benefits to all city inhabitants, whether honey bees or humans. * PlayingbytheBook * Good weather and al fresco dining often ends up stressful for parents with many children fearful of bees. Now is therefore the perfect time to introduce this stunning wordless picture book, about a little girl's friendship with a bee, to allow young children to understand them better. Muted colours create a gentle atmosphere, and Bee's kind face is anything but threatening. Imaginative, yet informative, the lack of text in 'Bee & Me' allows readers to create the story and give Bee a voice of their choice. * Library Mice blog * Bee & Me... has fast become one of our favourites in our house! Even before buying it, once I had told my daughter that it had no words and you can tell the story from the pictures, straight away she was sat flicking through the pages telling herself the story. From that moment, the book was sold to me!... Every time you look at the book, you notice something new... Bee & Me is a fantastic way to introduce the concept of conservation to children. -- Emily Ann Davison * My Book Corner *

About the Author

For the first time, Alison Jay illustrates her own storyline. Her love of nature and sympathy for the smallest creatures comes to the fore as she wordlessly tells the story of a growing friendship and understanding between a little girl and a bumble bee. Given free rein at last, her artwork is colourful and expressive and gently brings children to an understanding of the relationship between the human world and our natural environment.
