Bee & Me Named Publisher's Weekly Bestseller

Publisher’s Weekly’s Children’s Picture Book Bestsellers (2/16/09) features Bee & Me at #8

When a young boy discovers a bee trapped in his bedroom he hides for fear of being stung. But when the amiable bee frantically explains all that bees do, the boy comes to understand how good things come in different packages: "Bees make honey. That much we know. Bees also spread pollen, which makes all things grow."

The subject of honeybees' mysterious dwindling population throughout the world has been a growing concern in the news in recent years. Bee & Me brings the critical importance of bees to light for young children through the innovative, full color process of ANIMOTION™ in an engaging story of friendship and understanding. Bee & Me will charm readers while providing valuable information about how important bees are to sustainable agriculture. Bee & Me is sure to fascinate, entertain and engage readers of all ages.

Coming soon: Baby Turtle's Tale

This is something to "sea" and read. Full-color ani-motion technology comes alive and propels Baby Turtle's Tale, a lovely and touching story about a baby sea turtle hatching and making his way in the underwater world.

Elle McGuinness, the author of the well-received Bee & Me, takes us on the sea turtle's adventures from the beach to the reunion with his family on the coral reef.

Baby Turtle's Tale will appeal to young readers interested in preserving the environment and helping the plight of endangered species like sea turtles.

Features an educational appendix of fun and interesting facts about sea turtles
