Today I’m on the blog tour for The Beedog: An Insect Discovery in Portugal by Addie Broussard and illustrated by Jayeeta Neogi. It’s a brilliant little kids book that takes kids picture books to a different level!
Book Description
An award-winning picture book that will get little ones excited about science.
While building a unique sandcastle, Cora and Manny spot a rather curious insect.
Soon, the little scientists keep a watchful eye on the insect’s movements, while learning about the natural environment along the way.
A great book for STEM education and homeschool projects or just curious little ones who love science. Book extras include fun, printable activities related to science learning and research.
What we thought
What a lovely illustrated story, that is not only sweet and engaging for little ones, but full of learning also. It really takes the usual picture books up to the next level. It has further activities to take part in after you have finished the book to continue the learning.
My two and a half year old adores her books and this one is no exception. She loves to follow the story via the pictures, but is still a little young for understanding the science behind it. This will come in time.
A highly rated 5 out of 5 stars from us.
The recommended age is for 4-8 year olds.

This book sounds so good, and I especially like how it fits in with STEM. Perfect for our 5 year old. Especially interesting as we’ve had bees nesting in our roof over summer, over the bathroom ceiling. We have the sealed waterproof spot lights over the bath and shower and we can see them pottering about in the lights. Very entertaining

My little fella is not keen on flying insects to put it very mildly, but I reckon something like this might make him think – after all they are not ALL angry Wasps?
