An exciting new addition to the narrative non-fiction series Nature Storybooks, about a honey bee.

The cold is coming and Scout is on a daring flight in search of the last flowers of autumn. Scout's mission is very dangerous, but it is also vital, because the flowers provide the precious nectar the hive needs to make honey. Can the hive make enough honey to survive the long winter months?

The perfect read as spring awakens nature, Flight will fascinate outdoorsy youngsters as they view spring through the eyes of a honey bee. * Daily Parent *
This is how to tune younger readers into science: weave a factually accessible narrative, rich with expressive language, through a montage of beautifully crafted, high impact illustrations... * North & South *
A beautifully told, deliciously rendered book about a day-in-the-life of a young bee. * NZ Booksellers Blog *
