The Beedog: An Insect Discovery in Portugal

An award-winning picture book that will get little ones excited about science.

While building a unique sandcastle, Cora and Manny spot a rather curious insect.
Soon, the little scientists keep a watchful eye on the insect’s movements, while learning about the natural environment along the way.

A great book for STEM education and home-school projects or just curious little ones who love science. Book extras include fun, printable activities related to science learning and research.

My Review

Beautifully illustrated, with activities for little ones, and quite a lot of fun, this is a great book for children.

While playing on the beach, Cora and Manny find an interesting insect. And so the scientific investigation begins.

With a lovely little story to get the children interested in their environment, and wonderful pictures throughout, this is a lovely little introduction to investigating the natural world. Recommended.
