Perfect for Spring! The Beeman is all about a boy and his grandfather who is a beekeeper. Find out where honey comes from as Grandpa the Beeman teaches the basics of beekeeping to his young grandson. This rhyming story includes endnotes full of essential facts about bees, beekeeping, honey, and the vital part that bees play in the natural world. This would be a great book to use as a unit study for homeschoolers!

Review: Bear on a Bike

My 9 month old son loves Bear on a Bike! Join Bear as he tries out different forms of transport and has an adventure with each one. Rhyme and repetition support the learning layers of travel and transportation, as Bear travels in a raft, a rocket ship, a boat, a bike, a steam train, and a carriage.

Recommended Age: 2-6 years old (but I think children as young as 6 months old will enjoy the colorful pictures)

This book is available in paperback or as a very sturdy board book. Both formats are $6.99 each.
