MUMMY NATURE series – nurturing children’s curiosity
Each book in the series is one mini nature lesson wrapped up in colour and rhyme. These books are intended for very young children including toddlers and will give them just a glimpse into some of the wonders of the natural world. Illustrated for maximum vibrancy and visual impact, using rhyme to engage young minds and encourage participation. Read the rhymes to your children and soon they will be reading them to you!
The narrator is a small child and keen observer who tells us in short rhyming phrases everything she thinks we should know, and all about the magical things she sees around her. Sometimes she is camouflaged in the long grass and other times she has to climb a tree to get a better look.

Reviews:
"An excellent, and well-illustrated non-fiction book about bees for very young children."
Reviewer: DireCritical for Bookangel.
A simple book to describe to a very young child what bees are, what they do and that they sting.
Every page is in full colour, with some lovely illustrations for children. The text is simple, to the point, with simple vocabulary and rhymes to keep a child's attention. There are some activities in the back that give children more to do with the book.
Like many board books on ebook, it has sizing issues. The pages are full-screen and do not permit resizing in the Cloud Reader. The text is part of the images and likewise does not resize, but it is large enough to be easy to read on all but very small screens.
The story is perfect and easy to follow, ideal to read with parents or as a "my first reader" for children in play school or primary school. The images are entertaining and I loved the bee with a straw. It covers everything very young children need to know about bees, simply and in a way they can understand it, from stinging, to pollination, to hives. There are no spelling errors, and the rhyming scheme may be off, but it is ideal to keep children reading.
I caught no spelling errors, or grammar errors that weren't accounted for by the very basic style of writing.
Five stars. Highly recommended to parents who want their children to learn about nature, and to any other parents who just want a good read for their children. An excellent children's book.Rating: 5Quicklink to this review
