The Great Pollinator Count

Today Mellie and her friends are excited to participate in The Great Pollinator Count. Everyone is hoping that the school garden will attract even more pollinators than they counted last year. Mellie and her friend Sylvie invite Jason, a new kid in their class, to come along. When Jason surprises them by showing up for the count, they find out that he is not at all interested in counting icky bugs.

Mellie is unprepared when Ms. Bombus, their teacher, assigns her to be Jason’s partner. Making the best of an awkward situation, Mellie tries to show Jason how to look for honeybees, butterflies, and other insect pollinators among the lantana and bee balm plants. He hangs back at first, still not convinced he wants to be that close to these buzzy insects, but it isn’t long before he is looking for pollinators on his own.

By the time the whistle blows to end the count, both kids have learned a lot about pollinators and discovered the rewards of teamwork in community science. Filled with charming illustrations that give readers a “bug’s eye” view of the pollination counting process, this engaging picture book by the author of Bird Count includes a detailed glossary, resources, and information about America’s largest regional pollinator count.
