Review
A lovely large format board book that will benefit toddlers learning to count. Little Honeybee preforms a simple task in a larger than life manner. Little ones will enjoy the bright colors, pretty flowers and animal life but most of all they will love the many flaps, several per page. This is an attractive book that will appeal to older siblings and adults who have the opportunity to read aloud to a small child.
The animals reminded me of those created by Maine illustrator Ipcar. Jane Ormes is the only name on the book cover, nowhere on the review copy was a different author mentioned. Yet Amazon has the author listed as Katie Haworth. Add to libraries where lift-the-flap board books are collected and gift to new mothers.
Overall Book Score: very good
