Keep in mind, Bee's Amazing Adventure is likely to hold the interest of elementary students in 3rd grade and above. If you choose to read to a younger age group, you will need to adapt your presentation. Younger audiences will respond best to discussions based on the pictures as opposed to reading everything word-for-word.
