In this exciting launch of the Maisy’s Planet series, everyone’s favorite mouse learns all about the bees in her garden—and why they’re so important to our natural world.


Did you know that bees use their tongues to eat sweet nectar from flowers, then carry dusty pollen on their bodies to spread it from flower to flower? Or that they need lots of flowers, water, and a dry place to live? Through Lucy Cousins's familiar bold, inviting artwork and cheery narration, the youngest children can join Maisy as she tends to her growing garden and discovers some fun and informative things about the bees that live there. Open the final gatefold to see how Maisy is helping the amazing bees!
Maisy the mouse introduces her young audience to bees and their importance in our world. . . . A useful introduction to an essential part of nature, this book and its friendly, familiar guide may help children overcome potential fear of these buzzing insects that do so much for our world.
