Melissa Iwai.
In verse that, though not cumulative, recalls the rhythms of "The House That Jack Built," the narrator briefly describes his beekeeper grandfather's equipment, the roles of different bees in the hive, and the activities surrounding honey-making season. Illustrated with generally attractive if generic acrylic paintings, the book is a cheerful introduction to beekeeping.
