The Bee Tree
To teach his daughter the value of books, a father leads a growing crowd in search of the tree where the bees keep all their honey.
Why are we featuring this book?
The Bee Tree is a book featured in Five in a Row, a literature-based unit study curriculum. Many families use FIAR for all but the Grammar / Reading and Math, and others use it in conjunction with other resources. Below you will find information about the author and illustrator, story summaries, and links to lesson plans and websites that are great go-alongs for The Bee Tree. Please note that these resources are meant to complement, not replace, the Five in a Row units. The Five in a Row volumes are inexpensive and well worth the investment. Digital downloads of the FIAR volumes and supplementary resources like Fold & Learn™ (paper manipulatives similar to lapbooks) are available to enhance your units.
