Review

This is one of a five set of non-fiction books on the topic of pollination. This is listed as having 24 pages, which includes the verso, Table of contents, Glossary, Index, and 19 pages of a stock photograph accompanied with a very brief sentence or two. There is little or no labels identifying images in the photographs. For example, page 4 has a bee on a flower, the text "This bee is busy, It is gathering food." Is all the information given. What kind of bee? What kind of flower? What kind of food? The reader is left with more questions than answers. The photographs are colorful, but not enough information even for a very young child. The glossary does have useful information. Not recommended.

Overall Book Score: poor
