Written by: Eric Carle
First line: In a hive inside an old hollow tree, there lived a honeybee.
Why you should read this book: Gorgeously illustrated in Carle's signature style, this pull-tab book follows a honeybee through her busy day. It's an accessible but informative book that includes many interesting details about the realities of life for these beloved insects. Also includes two full pages of small-print nonfiction explanations for adults, corresponding to the action on each page of the larger book, so they can answer every single question about honeybees that might arise in the minds of children.
Why you should not read this book: Like all pull-tab books, the print edition is simply no match for children's fingers, and will soon be destroyed by curious and eager grabbing hands.
