Lola Meets the Bees is an adorable and information packed picture book for the youngest readers by Anna McQuinn. Released 9th April 2024 by Charlesbridge, it's 32 pages and is available in hardcover format.
Little Lola goes with her mom to visit a family friend who has beehives. Lola is fascinated to learn about bees and how they gather nectar and pollen. The whole adventure is illustrated very well by Rosalind Beardshaw. The pictures are colorful and detailed and show the life-cycle of the bees and a simplified explanation of what beekeepers do and how they help the bees.
The text is written in simple and understandable free verse and will be understood by even very young kids. Lexile measure is AD560L (2-5 years).
Five stars. This would be an excellent choice for public or school library acquisition, reading circles, or bedtime reading.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
