POLLINATORS - A MINIBEASTS BOOK
Look closely. Tiny helpers are at work.
This beautifully photographed non-fiction picture book invites children to discover pollinators and the many surprising ways they help plants grow.
Through real macro photography, gentle explanations, and inquiry-based questions, children learn that not all pollinators look the same — or work in the same way. Some visit flowers on purpose. Others help by accident. Together, they keep ecosystems alive.
Designed for early childhood and primary learners, this book encourages careful observation, scientific thinking, and curiosity about the natural world.
Inside this book:
Real photographs of pollinators including bees, beetles, butterflies, flies, moths, and more
Simple, accurate explanations of pollination
Inquiry prompts that encourage children to look for clues and think critically
A dedicated science spread comparing similar insects and their different roles
Language that supports discussion, reflection, and early science skills
Ideal for:
Early childhood and primary classrooms
Inquiry-based and nature-led learning
Science, sustainability, and SEL-aligned discussions
Shared reading and small-group exploration
