Steve and Danny, two brothers who are eager to have the adventure of a lifetime hit the ground running when school finishes for the summer. When they investigate a strange buzzing in a nearby field, Steve is stung by a bee, and the boys decide to get revenge. Armed with water guns, they approach the hive hidden deep in the woods. But when they are magically transported inside to meet the queen and see the inner workings of the hive, they reconsider their revenge and work together with the bees to help them with their honey production.

Bees In My Pockets is both an exciting and mystical story and an excellent source of information on bees. While children and parents are sure to enjoy this adventure, libraries, schools, farmers, and greenhouses may also be interested in stocking copies of this book to share or sell to young readers who may be passing by.

Through fantastical illustrations, dynamic vocabulary, and magical adventures this story explores themes of judgement, empathy and creativity that young readers (and their parents!) will delight in.
