I plan to check that out.<br /><br />Perhaps you'd enjoy some photos of baby bees in my hive.

Which is a real shame because the Scientists in the Field books are great for middle grade readers. And a lot of middle grade nonfiction books are formatted that way.

I am glad to note that my ten year old (while still not technically a middle grader) remains enamoured with picture books. Perhaps it helps that I, myself, am absolutely obsessed with picture books - but I do agree that other kids seem to think that it's too juvenile for them.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22559214.post-77165414060331119432012-01-02T14:07:49.438-05:002012-01-02T14:07:49.438-05:00Fascinating stuff!

My husband used to keep bees so I know a little bit about them. <br /><br />We carry The Hive Detectives in the bookstore, but I've never seen the second book. I know what you mean about the format turning kids off because it looks like a "baby book." And I don't think it's a small thing at all to middle school kids.Joanne R.
