I feel this was a fantastic book. The illustrations were complex, colorful, detailed pieces of art that visually portrayed the written word.

The story is about Bea, a young bee who learns the lesson of why it is important to follow the hive rules. During the story we are shown various activities in and around the hive.

Although the story is told eloquently, I feel it would have to be read to most children as larger and unusual words are used frequently. Not so much unknown by sound, but might be difficult for children below 3rd grade.

Included in the end of the story are several useful extras. Included are talking points about the story as well as an explanation of words that are either encountered in the story or describe aspects of a bee's life.

There is also a text only version of this book offered separately.

5.0 out of 5 stars great story, September 12, 2012

It’s a great story. My daughter is only 17 months so she isn't really saying much about the story but I loved it. Very descriptive with beautiful pictures

FOLLOWING THE RULES

Make a beeline for the French countryside to learn how boundaries benefit everyone

To keep the honeycomb strong, to make the very best honey, and to keep all the little honeybees safe and sound, bees must do things just so-according to bee rules. During her first days in the hive, young Beatrice is as busy as the proverbial bee learning all the rules her sisters can teach her.

But sometimes a young bee gets tired of following rules-especially if they interfere with her plans to visit a beautiful garden-perhaps the most beautiful garden in the world.

"No more bee rules," declares Beatrice. "I can make my own rules!"

Linda Talley's story, based on her lifelong research of French life, takes us along with Bea to the Chateau of Villandry in the Loire Valley of France, where a change in the weather turns her reckless adventure into a near calamity.

Artist Andra Chase has drawn upon her own travel in France to capture Bea's world in sparkling watercolors - the beehive, inside and out, the meadow beyond the bee-master's wall, full of buttercups, anemones and sweet violets, a colorful village market, and the famed terraced gardens of Villandry.

When Bea sets out on her adventure, she has much to learn about the world and about how rules can help keep her safe and happy.  She is like children everywhere - eager to explore and discover and break free of rules.  Bea learns that luck and kindness may sometimes save the day, but that breaking the rules can be risky business.  She learns, as will children who read her story, just what rules are for.

A SURPRISE and added bonus is the "Enrichment Information" which includes lots of facts about France, the Loire River Valley, the Gardens of Villandry, a French Market, From Nectar to Honey, the Honeybee Colony, Pollen, Bee Stings, the Bee Hive and the Honeycomb. This is fascinating detail that did not make it into the story itself, but is very rich in interesting description.

A second big plus is the "Letter to Parents and Educators" which includes many relevant questions and comments to facilitate conversation with young readers about the message of the story...the importance of following rules. So even though on the surface this is just an engaging story for children, it is also truly helpful in a real way.
