Reviews

Alison Jay's pictures for Bee and Me have the same softness and delicacy as the bumblebee that zooms into a girl's bedroom high above city streets.

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.

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.
