"The Next Time You See books are not meant to present facts to be memorized. They are written to inspire a sense of wonder about ordinary objects or phenomena and foster a desire to learn more about the natural world. Children might initially be afraid of bees, but when they learn what an important job they are doing for us and our planet, they realize that these tiny animals are essential to life as we know it, and hopefully that fear will develop into appreciation. After reading this book, you and your child feel a sense of wonder the next time you see a bee."--
