Food In the Flowers

This beautifully illustrated book with rhyming descriptions encourages children to exercise observation skills and to appreciate diversity, even among the bees, who help us grow our food when they visit flowers to find their own food.

In addition to the illustrations, two pages of song music are included in the back, as well as more descriptions and facts about pollinators.
