In this exciting launch of the Maisy’s Planet series, everyone’s favorite mouse learns all about the bees in her garden—and why they’re so important to our natural world.

Or that they need lots of flowers, water, and a dry place to live? Through Lucy Cousins's familiar bold, inviting artwork and cheery narration, the youngest children can join Maisy as she tends to her growing garden and discovers some fun and informative things about the bees that live there. Open the final gatefold to see how Maisy is helping the amazing bees!
