When the Bees Fly Home

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Joline McFadden. A boy who is too frail to assist his father with beekeeping tasks uses his artistic talents to help his economically strapped family. Honeybee facts are scattered throughout the book, trailing in graceful arcs behind flitting honeybees--an attractive design touch that unfortunately is difficult to read. McFadden's watercolors capture natural elements more successfully than they do human characteristics.
