The Humblebee Hunter: Inspired by the Life & Experiments of Charles Darwin and His Children

32 pp. | Hyperion | February, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4231-1356-0 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jen Corace. Hopkinson follows the family life of Charles Darwin from the perspective of his daughter, Etty, who loves the tales of his travels and discoveries. With her siblings, she eagerly takes part in his latest experiment: observing bumblebees and their feeding habits in the yard. The story, which ends rather abruptly, is illustrated with whimsical folk-art-like scenes.
