In this new series, Maisy everyone's favorite mouse learns all about the bees in her garden--and why they're so important to our natural world. Did you know that bees use their tongues to eat sweet nectar from flowers, then carry dusty pollen on their bodies to spread it from flower to flower? Or that they need lots of flowers, water, and a dry place to live?

Key points for classroom use:
Noticing an attribute of something is another one of the four precursors of math concepts. When teachers call attention to an attribute, such as a color or size, children will begin to sort objects into categories and make comparisons. With adult guidance, sorting and classifying through a variety of experiences will naturally progress as the twos are naturally curious about their world!
