Reviews

Geraldine and the Space Beesis the second book in theGeraldineseries. InSpace Bees, the book begins with Geraldine watering her moms flowers. She notices that there arent as many bees flying around the plants as usual. The next day at school, her teacher says that they are going on a field trip to the space museum; this is exciting to Geraldine! At the space museum, she learns about different things in space and has a homework assignment to create something to send into outer space. Back at home, she uses her imagination and makes something helpful that will hopefully help save the bees.I think I will like the books in theGeraldineseries! She is close to my age and thinks up exciting things to do and make. I did not know much about bees, besides them being important for plants, before reading this book. I now know how important they are and will remember to not be scared of them.Space Beesis for any age of reader who likes colorful illustrations and a fun story. (Lydia - Age 6) -- Kids' BookBuzz

The connectivity of all living things trembles when even one delicate part starts to wane. The loss of bees will have a wide effect on what remains.

A field trip to the museum and a challenging homework assignment sets her spirited mind into motion. This is an interesting, and inspiring story. (Ages 5-8) -- Midwest Book Review
