Lela Nargi's "The Honeybee Man," is about a man in Brooklyn who is a beekeeper and collects honey from his bees . A nice introduction to the world of urban beekeepers and also info about bees themselves. The bee issue is becoming quite serious and I think education about bees is of great importance.

I'm not surprised this was in the top 10. It seems to be on every bookshelf I see. When people think about kids books this classic book by Eric Carle comes to mind very quickly.
