Unlikely bug buddies bring the science of compost heaps to life
Bee is spending another beautiful, boring day pollinating flowers in the
backyard when a visitor named Flea gallops onto the scene on a dog's
back. Flea is the one and only agent of the Fenced-in-Area Law
Enforcement Agency (the F.L.E.A. for short) and she's heard about
trouble in the compost heap: it's erupted into a wild frenzy, and Flea
needs to investigate. Enlisting Bee in the investigation, the pair flies
off to the scene of the crime, where they discover compost critters
dancing, slime surfing, and playing games of dodge-poo. But is there
more to this compost chaos than meets the eye?
This hilarious hop through the compost heap is the first book in a
primary chapter book series featuring Bee and Flea. Lively black and
white illustrations bring the crime-fighting team to life, while
stealthy, accessible STEM content introduces readers to the tiniest
composting creatures and how they make backyards bloom.
