Meet "Black-eyed Susan!" She's a pretty little flower who likes to talk with children and help them know about insects that visit her and other flowers. She tells the children about pollination and helps them learn which insects are critical to pollination. The book is fun, interactive, and educational. School-age children of all ages will enjoy this book, and preschoolers will love playing "I Spy" as they go through the book and walk outside. As children read this book, they will learn about each insect that Susan spys including bees (native and the European honey bee), butterflies, moths, flys, ants, mosquitos, wasps, and beetles. Because children are often afraid of some of these insects, the author explains the benefits and helps reduce the fear.Susan plays "I spy" throughout the book and the book concludes with the children being encouraged to go outside and look for various insects that pollinate. There are several interactive pages to help children reinforce what they have learned. Phrases and words are defined to enhance learning also. Educators and librarians love and recommend this book. You will, too! Comments by educators include:I love that this book shares so much about the relationship between insects and plants/flowers and teaches kids about I Spy. It's such a fun and simple game, and I treasure old simple games and value the gift of passing them on! I love the activity at the end! It's super fun! I can picture my kids rushing to grab a pencil and respond! Leslie B., Elementary teacher and momWith the constant information flow of our digital society, we often assume that children know things when they actually don't. "Black Eyed Susan" goes back to basics by using a flower to explain the process and details of pollination and flower reproduction. Less is more with this simple explanation of what we often call pests but in reality were created to share the pollen love. Share the pollen and the love of Black Eyed Susan with your child. Susan will appreciate you. Dana W., Lead Kindergarten Teacher, Keswick Christian
