Bees in Loretta’s Bonnet (Loretta’s Insects) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Nicole Thompson

A captivating narrative, Bees In Loretta’s Bonnet written by Lois Wickstrom and illustrated by Francie Mion introduces its young readers to the importance of protecting leafcutter bees. The visuals boast a beautiful traditional style. Not only is the tale enchanting, but it even provides an educational DIY project, allowing kids to make a bee nest in their own garden! This heartwarming story of conservation makes a perfect story to share with my grandchild.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Loretta is carrying firewood when she drops it and discovers a leafcutter bee nest. There are holes throughout the tube shaped bee nest but no bees to be found. Where are the bees?

Looking around, she discovers more holes in the rose bush and their leaves but no bees? What happened to them?

This is a fun and educational book about leafcutter bees. I am not a fan of bees but this was really informative and made me appreciate them more.
