Our familiar, tiny (and, of course, impatient) hero is back to study pollination. The harried nymphalid from Burach's previous tales learns yet another large scientific term ("Polli-WHAT-now?"). Butterfly sees Bee sitting on a flower, covered in yellow specks, and wonders what exactly is happening. After a quick lesson, an extraordinary fact comes to light: Butterflies are pollinators, too! Feigning nonchalance, Butterfly launches an endless string of questions: "Right. Right. Pollen. What's pollen again?" "NOW what are you doing?" "Got it. Soâ¦how many flowers do bees visit each day??" In awe at the amount of pollen Bee collects, Butterfly tries to keep up and even transform into a bee (with the help of some glue, extra pollen baskets, and an elaborate, over-the-top jet pack). Bee, however, with wise assurance, advises after each attempt, "Just be a butterfly." Full of witty banter, the back-and-forth exchanges told through different colored speech bubbles are ideal for pairs to read aloud. The fun wordplay (the pollinator baskets come from "Flykea"; a poster in the background of one page shows an equation from "Einsting") also adds to the delight. Combining info on the natural world with lessons on self-acceptance, this is a buzzworthy choice. (This book was reviewed digitally.) Bee-you-tiful.
