Thank you for a lovely review. I am a major bee 🐝 fan so already the story has won my favour.
It is great that children understand the value of bees in our existence and I feel that this book provides that education in a fun and engaging way.

Such a lovely children's book. The author writes about a colony of bees that fights for survival. Kids get to learn about the consequences of human actions on environmental degradation, such as global warming.
Kids will enjoy the illustrations and easy to read text. Great, educative BOTD!
Good job on the review.

The illustrations enhance the book's worth even further, and I love how the bees are portrayed as a family. The message of the value of bees is beautifully expressed, and the wording is really lighthearted and straightforward.

Teaching children must begin at home, adults must show facts consistent with what we proclaim, that is where the little ones learn. With this book, children can be entertained by following the story and discover if Princess Debbee will be able to save the town from her?

Bees are very important for the livelihood of humans and animals. Without them, much of the food we know and love would cease to exist. The author did a great job of showing what the consequences of abusing the earth are for bees. Thanks for the review!

The cover looks great. It is eye-catching. Children would grab the book based on the cover of the book. It's nice that the author addressed issues such as global warming in an entertaining way for the kids to understand the impact of it and, thus, in the future, become responsible individuals that respect the environment. Nice review.

Even though I currently have no use for Children's Books, because my own kids have already outgrown the genre, I readily admit this book's awesome way to teach children about the importance of environmental issues and the important role bees play. Thanks a lot for gifting the book and congrats with BOTD!

I completely agree with your assessment of "The Amazing Bees". It's heartwarming to see a children's book that not only tells an engaging story about a bee colony but also addresses important environmental issues like global warming.
