Butterflies | Scholastic Books, Gallimard Jeunesse

I left 2 books at this library and chose this book about butterflies for myself. 🦋

julieclair I love how the people put a chair by the library! 🇺🇸 1d
Princess-Kingofkings @julieclair yes, it feels like an invitation to sit and read 24h

I didn‘t post anything with this one because honestly, this book made me paranoid about all insects. Still recommend it for similar reasons why I recommended Wicked Plants. She gives all the information to give you an idea of the bug and how it‘s dangerous, without making it boring. If you‘re like me, prepare to be itchy throughout your read! #wickedbugs #wickedplantsseries #bugs #insects

squirrelbrain That‘s *really* bad. I‘d read nearly half of the long list, but only 6 of these, and hibernated a further 3 because I didn‘t love them. There‘s not a single book on there that I loved and plenty that most Littens have really disliked. Meh - I don‘t think I‘ll bother with the shortlist. 4mo
kwmg40 Oh no! I haven‘t looked at the list yet but heading over there now with some trepidation. 4mo
RebelReader I may try a couple of these, but I definitely will not be completing it. Oh well, I‘m still gonna read a couple from the long list too just because! 🤷🏼‍♀️ 4mo
Hooked_on_books Jesus, what in the hell are they thinking?!? This thing is a mess! Although I‘m kind of delighted to see Boys Weekend on there. 4mo
Deblovestoread Well that‘s disappointing. 🙁 4mo
BkClubCare Yeehaw, what a wild list IMHO 4mo
Bookwormjillk Cold People? Really? 4mo
jlhammar Interesting…I‘ve only read the McBride and Aoyama so far (enjoyed both). I have a feeling I might not get on with several of these. I hate that cover of Big Swiss so much that I‘ve been avoiding it. I‘ll probably give as many of these a shot as I can over the next 2+ months (depends on library availability for some), but will not hesitate to bail if I‘m not feeling it. 4mo
Jas16 This is really disappointing. I definitely won‘t be a completionist this year 4mo
Ruthiella I will give them all a go if available from the library, but I agree. There are a lot listed where my Litsy and Goodreads friends were meh or negative about them. 4mo
Megabooks Yikes!! 4mo
Megabooks @squirrelbrain I hate not to be a completist, but I have no desire to read Brainwyrms after your review, and you probably don‘t want to read Cold People after mine! 😂😂 4mo
sarahbarnes Interesting. Most of the books I either liked or want to read off the long list aren‘t on here. 4mo
Megabooks @Hooked_on_books I‘m very excited to get to Boys Weekend! 4mo
squirrelbrain No, I‘m not completing the list this year either @Jas16 @Megabooks 🤷‍♀️ 4mo
BarbaraBB I am shocked.. Most of them I really don‘t want to read and the three I did read I didn‘t enjoy that much. So what now? 4mo
kwmg40 I'll read some of the books on the list but definitely won't be a completist this year. Actually, I've never completed the list but I usually put in a good effort. Not this year. 4mo
ImperfectCJ Wow, there is little overlap between the ones I am excited about from the long list and this short list. I'm going to have to think carefully about whether I want to be a short list completist this year or not. 4mo
Chelsea.Poole 🙈 “ugh” is right! 4mo
Addison_Reads I'm just going to keep reading as many on the long list as I can, but this short list just doesn't really impress me. 4mo
cariashley Oof I‘m still digesting! I‘d read barely any of the long list and only had a few of the shortlist books on my radar. Really not sure how to proceed! (edited) 4mo
Well-ReadNeck Humph. I don‘t mind a weird book or two, but I feel like there are just too many on this list and just for shock value. Of the longlist books that I haven‘t read, it‘s uncanny how many chosen were at/toward the bottom of my “want to read/interested to read list” Bummer. 4mo
batsy I've barely read most of the longlist books yet, but I did enjoy Big Swiss and I thought The Guest was interesting. But other than that I'm with @sarahbarnes these were not quite the books I was drawn to from the longlist and don't know if I'll read much of the shortlist. 4mo

When she visits the next flower, some of this pollen is rubbed off onto the stigma. This fertilizes the plant and causes it to produce seeds and fruit.

This would be a great book for a science unit on pollination or how all animals contribute to nature. This is a very interesting read for students of any age to show them how important bees are to the world.

This nonfiction book explains to its readers the importance of bees to our world. Woolf explains the importance of bees by giving examples of all we would not have without bees (fruits, veggies, cotton) and weaving a fun, compelling story that remains informative.

This book would be great in any classroom for a stand alone read aloud or anything regarding science. The book highlights the importance of bees on many of our items of produce and organic materials such as cotton. Students can learn about the processes of how plants are pollinated and gain a respect for living organisms.

Pickpick

This is a nonfiction book that covers how important bees are to our world. Alex Woolf write the story that is accompanied by funny and educational illustrations by Peter Beton. The story revolves around how many food and commercials products, like cotton and fruits/veggies, are reliant on bees to pollinate them and what would happen if we didn't have them.
