One word per two page spread illustration introduces readers to what bees do.
Thoughts: The brief text and digitally created illustrations that are reminiscent of cut paper collage combine to create a wonderful introduction to bees. I love this format so much and can't wait to share Beehive in storytime and with students when I visit elementary schools. I love that the author's note both explores and explains the words Hurley chose for her book. Beehive would pair well with Beware by Bob Raczka, unBEElieveables by Douglas Florian, and The Honeybee by Kirsten Hall. There are also bee poems in On the Farm by David Elliott and Things to Do by Elaine Magliaro.
Themes: Bees, Bugs/Insects, Spring
