Description de l’éditeur
A colony of bees buzzes through a busy day in this bold and bright Classic Board Book by acclaimed author-illustrator Jorey Hurley.
Swarm

Build
Capturing the whimsy and brightness of springtime, this is the story of a bee colony finding a place to call “hive.” Little ones can follow the bees as they collect pollen, protect their home from predators, and gather the sweet reward of their work: honey straight from the comb.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Hurley's signature style single, carefully chosen words paired with illustrations notable for their sophisticated minimalist aesthetic illuminates wild honeybees. Beginning with the "buzz" of a lone bee over a field of lilac-hued blooms, this spare story, told mostly in images, wends its way as the bees "swarm" and "explore," "find" a tree to "build" a hive where the queen can "lay" eggs. After they "feed" the larvae, which become "grown," and "fly," the story shifts into "collect" and "pollinate" before the bees must "guard," "sting," and "keep" their ultimate creation: "honey." Hurley's author's note cleverly uses these same words in a fuller narrative explaining their occurrences. Hurley's clean-line pictures egg-shaped dots in orange hexagonal cells; yellow-and-black bees perched in flowers' centers, collecting orange pollen clearly illustrate each concept, offering an appealingly simple introduction to a beloved insect. Ages 3 7.
