This third and final adventure featuring crime-solving pair Bee and Flea explores how the backyard critters adapt and prepare for winter
The weather is turning cold, and Bee notices that the animals in the big backyard are acting ... odd. Flea is uncharacteristically sleepy, the yard is strangely quiet, and then there's the commotion at the compost heap--a huge, round, orange object is looming over the earthworms!
Bee and her new friend Fuzz, a woolly bear caterpillar, can't convince a very tired Flea to help, so Bee turns to her old bee colony for back up. She soon learns, however, that there's no real emergency at all, and that the changes to the yard, including Flea's sleepiness, are perfectly normal adaptations for the coming winter.
This latest addition to the hilarious chapter book series follows F.L.E.A. agent Bee and her new friend Fuzz on an exciting adventure full of STEM content that introduces readers to seasonal changes and animal life cycles.
Insect investigators Bee and Flea are back for another sleuthing STEM adventure!
After a busy week of crime-fighting, F.L.E.A. (Fenced-in Area Law Enforcement Agency) investigators Bee and Flea are invited to an exciting event: an after-the-rain party, hosted in a puddle. Bee feels reluctant to go--she should be working on earning her official F.L.E.A. badge, and she doesn't even know how to swim!--but enthusiastic Flea drags her along.
The pair peruse the puddle party, until Bee spots a lost baby water bear huddled beneath a leaf. Returning the creature to its mother would definitely help her earn that badge! But on the way, she discovers a bigger problem. The puddle is getting smaller, and her friends' home is at risk of disappearing!
The second book in this engaging and funny chapter book series sees rookie agent Bee overcome challenges and crack her first case. Dynamic black-and-white illustrations bring the cast of underwater partygoers to life, while sneaky STEM content introduces readers to the water cycle and other environmental concepts.
Unlikely bug buddies bring the science of compost heaps to life in this funny, STEM-forward chapter book
Bee is spending another beautiful, boring day pollinating flowers in the backyard when a visitor named Flea gallops onto the scene on a dog's back. Flea is the one and only agent of the Fenced-in-Area Law Enforcement Agency (the F.L.E.A. for short) and she's heard about trouble in the compost heap: it's erupted into a wild frenzy, and Flea needs to investigate. Enlisting Bee in the investigation, the pair flies off to the scene of the crime, where they discover compost critters dancing, slime surfing, and playing games of dodge-poo. But is there more to this compost chaos than meets the eye?
This hilarious hop through the compost heap, now available in paperback, is the first book in a primary chapter book series featuring Bee and Flea. Lively black and white illustrations bring the crime-fighting team to life, while stealthy, accessible STEM content introduces readers to the tiniest composting creatures and how they make backyards bloom.
