An introduction to the Bubs the Bumblebee stories

Bubs the Bumblebee children's nature stories by Joyce Graham Fogwill
Consultant in Children's Science Education 

Website:http://www.BubstheBumblebee.com

The Bubs the Bumblebee© children's nature stories, with their beautiful colour photographs, introduce children to nature through the activities of bumblebees, other insects and spiders in the garden. The stories are educational, informational, and they encourage children to read, observe, ask questions and develop a better awareness of nature.

You may have seen these insects in the garden but have you ever watched their activities?
"I love to watch small, often overlooked interactions of insects and spiders in nature. These stories developed as  I observed and photographed  bumblebees and other insects in the garden". 
Young readers are encouraged to ask questions and seek more scientific information at the end of each story in the section entitled "Enquiring minds want to know more about" which aims to develop creative thinking skills in young readers.


The author, Joyce Graham Fogwill, is an amateur nature photographer and has graduate degrees in Science and Education.
