Bee and Bird

by Craig Frazier

Summary: In this wordless picture book, a bumblebee and a bird embark on a travel adventure.

The bright illustrations in this book did not appeal to me. However, the illustrations are simple enough that very young children will be able to narrate a story. Wordless books are meant for children to use their creativity and develop an appreciation for books.

Jam and Honey

by Melita Morales

Summary: Tells the story of a young girl and a honeybee who learn to coexist peacefully in the same garden as they go about their respective tasks.

This is a sweet story about respecting others and the world around us. It is great to share with a child who is afraid of bees. An adult can discuss how the bee is “just as scared of you as you are of it.” However, a person should give a bee its space.
