The Lola Bee Bop: A Bloomsbury Young Reader: Purple Book Band

By John Dougherty and Pauline Gregory

An upbeat rhyming story about bees and sustainability, ideal for children practising reading at home or in school.

Lola is a bee who loves to boogie, but the rest of the hive think her dancing is silly. One day, their meadow is mowed and the bees must go in search of new nectar. Luckily, Lola's bop might just help them find it! This cheerful story from award-winning author John Dougherty is perfect for Key Stage 1 (KS1) children who are learning to read by themselves. It features funny colour illustrations by Pauline Gregory and is perfect for teaching children about the environment and the importance of bees in our ecosystem.
