(3) K-3 In this fourth book about a vulnerable keystone species (If Sharks Disappeared and others), Williams envisions the devastating impact of a mass bee extinction. The presentation opens in the verdant hills of Kent, England, where the color-saturated illustrations feature an adult and two kids (one white, one Black) tending a garden. These characters appear throughout as Williams provides a general overview of bee physiology, behavior, reproduction, and hive culture before focusing on currents threats to the species and the projected "unraveling effect" on crops, other species, and more. The friendly illustrations help to deliver Williams's urgent message effectively. More about threats, tips on how to help, a glossary, and a bibliography are appended.
