I learned so much from Lois Wickstrom’s Bees in Loretta’s Bonnet! I know this is a children’s book, but like a lot of Lois’s books, it is a science lesson disguised in an easy-to-read, superbly written story about a little girl losing her bonnet and what a swarm of bees have done with it. It also teaches that not all bees have stingers! Something else I didn’t know!
It’s the same Loretta we have grown to love, on another scientific adventure of discovery and learning.
As with other Loretta books, Bees in Loretta’s Bonnet is beautifully illustrated by Francie Mion.
I loved this book and have awarded it 5 stars.
