Beautifully detailed, close-up photographs pair with flowing poems to introduce nine types of pollinators and their importance to plants. The poems explain why pollinators are important, how each of the nine types make pollinating happen, and why plants need to be pollinated. Some terms are used without visual explanation, but a glossary does help provide more details. The rich, colorful photographs are the highlight of the title, showing each pollinator up close as the job is accomplished. A useful title to use in gardening, environment, or animal study lessons.
