Reviews for The Book of Bees!
'A wonderfully imagined and wittily illustrated compendium ... Full of humour ... Everything is beautifully explained in detail on a double-page spread for a deeper understanding. Quite magnificent' - The Society of Authors 'A marvellous, unique picture book about beekeeping that delights everyone who sees it' - Bees for Development Journal 'While it is intended for children with most of the illustrations ... of a folksy and caricature-type nature, it will readily appeal to adults too' - Beekeeper Quarterly 'Charming and educative' - The Tablet 'The Bee Book is a treasure trove of information just waiting to 'bee' harvested!' - The Bookbag 'This A3-sized beautifully illustrated book will quickly become a favourite in any household' - Countryside 'This glorious book will introduce you to the bee world. It is fantastically illustrated in a cartoonish style that is big, bold and will appeal to all ages of reader. As well as being encyclopaedic, it is great fun - featuring recipes and a little bee newspaper, the Daily Buzz' - Book Trust 'Designed like a coffee table book, yet containing the knowledge of an encyclopaedia, and reading like a fun newspaper, this is stunningly executed my top non-fiction book of the year' - Minerva Reads 'A beautifully illustrated new book by cartoonist Piotr Socha will delight your children with all things buzzy...It is a brilliant way to educate the younger generation about something very small but very important' - Absolutely Education Magazine
