flight of the honey bee by raymond huber

Ricki’s Review and Teachers’ Tools for Navigation: I read this book aloud to my son while he was eating breakfast, and he was captivated by the illustrations and story. In addition to learning about bees and the vocabulary included in the book, this book could be a great addition to a lit circle inquiry group about insects or as a mentor text to create student narrative and informational mixed writing about a animal after researching. This unique text structure mixed with the realistic yet artistic illustrations really makes Flight compelling to read.

Then on each page, there is information about bees in general to help the reader understand Scout’s journey. This part of the story is told as a story. This text introduces Scout as she exits the hive and goes about her bee-siness (hehe!). Kellee’s Review and Teachers’ Tools for Navigation : I love books that mix narrative and information nonfiction within one book. Nature lovers and scientists-to-be are invited to explore the fascinating life of a honey bee. She uses her powerful sense of smell to locate the flowers that sustain her, avoids birds that might eat her, and returns home to share her finds with her many sisters. Using sunlight, landmarks, and scents to remember the path, she goes in search of pollen and nectar to share with the thousands of other bees in her hive. Goodreads Summary: Follow the flight of a honey bee as she searches for nectar to sustain her hive and, along the way, pollinates flowers to produce seeds and fruits.Ī tiny honey bee emerges from the hive for the first time.
