It's a great companion to the earlier one in the series, "Butterflies are Pretty Weird" and includes some fun bumble bee puns along the way. Souva's artwork is lovely - sometimes illustrations for non-fiction books can lean too realistic, almost textbook-y and lacking creativity. Souva's style is bright and interesting and eye-capturing. Written by Rosemary Mosco, illustrated by Jacob Souva, published by @tundrabooks. I borrowed this book from the library. Comment Like You can also reply to this email to leave a comment.
