Includes index.

Through the quirky, humorous, and irreverent approach of this book, kids will enjoy learning about the life of this incredible pollinator. With the same engaging approach to nonfiction from the series You Wouldn't Want to Be/You Wouldn't Want to Live Without, each book in this new series features an animal species picked either for its ubiquitous nature or for its level of endangerment. The books describe key aspects of the life cycle of each animal, such as diet, reproduction, and habitat. Illustrated with original art that will feature anthropomorphized animals to add character and expression, this series will provide really engaging content to young readers!
