(3) K-3 Smithsonian's Backyard series. Illustrated by Kristin Kest. In spring a bumblebee emerges from hibernation and finds a nest. Continuing with how bumblebees collect food and how the young larvae develop, the story sustains a natural narration without resorting to anthropomorphism. Large, smoothly executed bee's-eye paintings from both outside and inside the hive follow the action of the story. A note "about the bumblebee" adds context. Glos.
