Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
How Would You Survive As A...? is a brand new nature strand in the globally bestselling You Wouldn't Want To... brand, looking at the struggles for survival of different animal species. Each volume follows a first-person narrative approach, telling the story of an example of the species as they deal with finding food, reproducing, raising their young, exploring their territory and fighting for dominance. The mix of humorous illustrations, bite-sized text and fact panels provides multiple entry points for reluctant readers, presenting the information accessibly.How Would You Survive As A Bee? explores the challenges faced by a bee as it gathers pollen, communicates with its fellow workers, and repairs and defends its hive. The end matter contains real life stories of beehives and bee populations, highlighting conservation issues surrounding the species, illustrated with photographs to underscore that they're non-fiction and drawn from reality, plus family trees of related species and a quiz.
Includes index.
"As a honeybee, you live together in a colony with other bees like yourself, and you harvest pollen and nectar from flowers in order to make your food. The life of a bee can be difficult: It's a lot of work taking care of your nest and raising new bees, and there are many dangers, like birds and predatory wasps"--back cover.
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!
