An underlying environmental lesson told through a thoroughly kid-friendly and engaging storyline
A unique and ground-breaking children's book, "Bee & Me" has an underlying environmental lesson told through a thoroughly kid-friendly and engaging storyline by Elle J. McGuinness, and superbly enhanced by the lively and colorful art work of Heather Brown. Throughout the book are images that move by simply turning the page. The publishing technology that enables this is called 'Ani-motion' and will total absorb young readers of all ages and reading levels. "Bee & Me" is the story of a young boy who is able to overcome his fear of bees when he meets and talks to one, who informs him about all the good that bees do for the world. Superbly written, unique, and delightfully (as well as animatedly) illustrated, "Bee & Me" is highly recommended for family picturebook collections.

Super Cool Moving Pictures!
I picked up this book and was amazed by the moving pictures inside...sort of like a pop-up book (where when you move the pages, the pop-ups move) but when you open the book, parts of the pictures move! The wings of the bee move, the dog runs...it's really cool. My nephew is going to be fascinated by this book when I give it to him for Christmas...
