(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gay W. Holland. Numerous illustrations in meticulous, accurate detail from varying points of view recommend this book. But its text, though a balanced introduction to honeybees, oscillates distractingly between forced rhymes and prose ("Others guard and / protect the hive. / They sting if an animal / comes too close. / So I'm careful to stay / a safe distance away"). A question-and-answer section is appended.
