Bee and Bird has a very cute front cover and that's what caught my attention before even opening the book. My take on the book is about a bee and a bird who go on an adventure together. Wordless picture books are good to read with young children because they are able to make up their own story to go along with the book. When you revisit the book the child will most likely make up a whole new story to go along with the pictures in the book. The illustrations really stand out in the book because the colors are so vivid. There is not a lot going on in the pictures so it keeps the story concise, whatever you or the child makes up to go along with the pictures. The illustrator uses a lot of lines in the artwork so it makes for a clear cut picture which I'm always really drawn to. Young children are also very drawn to very bright colors so this is great book to start children with every before then can really form thoughts to make up their own story to the book. The child will be very intrigued by the colors contained on each page. Another bright, geometric book, this one wordless. Bee and bird are friends, and go on an adventure of sorts. The changing perspectives and odd viewpoints are a selling point in this book, but I found it hard to tell what was going on at times.Primary colored art and clear lines are fun, but lack visual interest for me.Not recommended for a storytime, because wordless books are hard to do unless you're great at them!
