The Amazing Bees: A Children’s Theatrical ExperienceAge Range: 4-8Pages: 128 Publisher: What to Expect: Natural history, feminism, eco-awarenessIn preparation to be her hive’s Queen Bee, Princess Debee is learning about the many jobs that the bees do to keep their hive running and producing the delicious honey they all need to live. One day the workers stop being able to make honey altogether: it’s just too hot to fly. To save her hive, and even though she’s afraid of flying alone, Princess Debee decides to fly to the meadow at night and gather the nectar they need herself. But will she be safe from the huge, five-fingered, honeycomb destroyer, the strange brown rain that kills the flowers, and the vicious honey badgers? On her journey, Debee learns that while not everything may be quite as you would expect it on an adventure, everything works out fine when we all work together to help one another. Bees are essential to our way of life, supporting crops and gardens across the globe as they pollinate plants and produce honey. However, human activities such as monoculture farming, global warming, and pesticide use have been threatening the health of hives everywhere, damaging the bees’ food supplies and disturbing the delicate balance they live in. By creating a family of brave, resourceful, and utterly endearing bee characters, Yoel Silber not only brings these threats into focus but also teaches important lessons about courage, working together, and overcoming differences. Bright, colorful illustrations lend a fairy tale quality to the story, and Princess Debee’s plucky actions remind readers that even someone very small can make a huge difference. This is not just an education about bees—it’s a fun, action-packed fairytale young readers are sure to enjoy. —The Children's Book Review
Here were many awesome features in this book. To begin with, the writer used figures of speech, such as personification, metaphors, and dialogue to make the text much more vivid and engaging. Moreover, the writer's narration of the story was authentic and original, while the simple language used by the author allows children to understand the text. Furthermore, the drawings and illustrations in the book elevated its status, as they added interest and liveliness to it. The text was also professionally edited since I only picked up three grammar mistakes in it. What I liked most about this book was that it had several cliffhangers and plot twists, which will grasp a young reader's attention.
This book will be liked mostly by kids who like stories about animals and nature. Girls may enjoy the story more since the protagonist in the story is a princess.
All in all, this book deserves a score of 4 out of 4 stars. This is because it was original, engaging, beautifully illustrated, and professionally edited.
