Scavenger Hunt is a picture book dedicated to teaching young readers about identifying the many colors of the light spectrum. Betty Bumblebee leads the insects on a delightful scavenger hunt through the garden and gives everyone clues to find the perfectly colored flower. With rhyming text, young readers have the ability and opportunity to learn new sight words, the names of colors, and to also not only work as a team but simultaneously learn to compete in a fun task-oriented activity.

Scavenger hunt features loveable characters and a unique solution-focused theme. Children will be engaged to search for objects of certain colors as they read this action filled story either alone or with a parent, reading buddy, or teacher.

This is a great learning tool for children who are not neurodivergent.
The illustrations by Suzi Devlin are imaginative and add much to the story with meaningful illustrations and brilliant colors.
Well suited for reading alone or WITH someone of any age, including ESL, and great for gifting to everyone, but especially to a school, waiting room, or your local public library!

Part of what wants to be a series of such very early readers, this has a lot of small garden critters on a treasure hunt, where visual clues they have lead them to the colour of something to fetch. So while you're wondering what a bee, a bed and a bass clef rhyme with as regards colours, you get a nicely-rhymed section of text for each clue, prompting the correct call and response as you vocalise your part in the hunt. And in that description hides a few clues to the success of this – as no colour rhymes with bass clef, the symbol means something else. You see a bee – the insects here see something else. So we're bound to fail at the hunt if we did it ourselves without these friendly insects prompting us, and it's not really that joyful to find out you're less smart than a ladybird. That aside the text is fine, the artwork is good enough – I just don't see the puzzle side of this as being a success at all. And as I'm convinced we're supposed to be participating and not just watching this treasure hunt, this gets a three star rating that is actually on the generous side.

The colorful and cartoony drawings really capture the essence of the little insects in this book. I also enjoyed the beautiful colors of the flowers and the scavenger hunt clues. Great book to explore with kids.

I received this book from the publisher and from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own.

I really loved the concept of this book! The illustrations were super cute; each little bug was so well drawn. I really liked the resources in the back of the book as well.

I enjoyed the scavenger hunt, though some rhymes were a bit of a stretch. I appreciated that the author included orange and purple, but the “rhyming” words may be harder to guess for young readers. Additionally, some of the writing was a bit choppy.

I would recommend this book for younger, elementary-aged children.

Very sweet and beautifully illustrated book about bees and colours. Both my baby son and I immensely enjoyed reading this at his bedtime.

Jumping right into this review, I'll make a list of the things I enjoyed:
1. Nothing truly rhymes with orange or purple, but the author really tried and I think it worked for the most part. It wasn't perfect, but it was honestly pretty close.
2. I thought that having the bugs' commentary tie to other books in this series was such a clever idea! It also encourages readers to read the other books that this author has, and really allows them to get to know the characters better. Note: I think it would have been a bit more effective to have that note of information at the beginning of the book, rather than towards the end.
3. The central idea of rhyming and using clues was awesome! It kickstarts some good skills in young readers and makes for an interactive and engaging reading experience. And, lastly:
4. The reading guide at the back of the book for caregivers was a great addition. Like I said in my last point, it makes for a much richer and fruitful reading experience, for both little ones and the adults around them.
Bravo!

Scavenger Hunt was such a cute little book. The beehives are being smoked so Betty Bumble Bee gets a chance to play a game. Today's game is a scavenger hunt.

The Betty Bumble Bee gives the other insects/creatures a picture with and describes the item. The color of the flower will rhyme with the clue. It is a very good for elementary aged children to help students or parents teach rhyming words. Once they figure out what word rhymes with the scavenger item you can have them say the clue and the color. For example, the first clue is a shoe, color is blue. Have the child say shoe:blue.

I am looking forward to reading this book to my children and watching them learn.

Cute colorful book for toddlers or kids just learning colors. My 6 year old read it to my 4 year old with zero effort but said he liked seeing all the colorful pictures. This is not an “I spy” type book.

2.5 ⭐️
I loved the idea of this book. My children 5 and 7 helped pick the title and were really excited to read it. The colour and illustrations were lovely too.

Sadly the scavenger hunt itself was a little confusing. Firstly it was hard to understand what we were being asked to find- I think a page with some further clarification or an example would work better.

There were also a couple of colours that really were hard and my children couldn’t guess it, which sadly ruined the fun of the book.. a great idea but unfortunately too hard for younger readers which is I believe the intended audience

This book has absolutely gorgeous illustrations and fun rhymes which i’m sure will be very attractive to young readers. The scavenger game itself is slightly confusing; but overall it is a fun and cute concept! thanks to netgalley for letting me reading an advanced copy of this book

I can't wait to use this with students! From the colors and bugs and the enrichment tips in the back will be great for the classroom. Plus the concept of the beekeeper needing to smoke out the bees for honey and this is their activity to wait it out was really cute.

This book was really cute! I love interactive books for my three year old and she loves them too. I liked the color rhyming. A couple of the rhymes were a bit of a stretch (difficult to find a word that rhymes with orange, for example). I really enjoyed the discussion questions at the end.

Great illustrations in this fun read. It can be an interactive and fun when reading together. Thank you for the opportunity for reading this book in exchange for an honest review. Recommend.

"Scavenger Hunt" is a fun children's book about finding colorful flowers that rhyme with the given clues. The story takes kids on an exciting adventure as they search for flowers based on rhyming hints. The pictures in the book are bright and colorful, making the hunt enjoyable and engaging. Some of the clues were extremely challenging, one in particular- a child would not know what it is and when reading to children you want it to be easy for them to make their guesses. I think an extra page with an example would've been good to help clarify that the picture clue is a word and that word will rhyme with the color.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Why does a bumblebee wear a hat? Nope, not telling, not that I'm sure there's any one right answer, but it's one of the fun things you get to ponder as you read this book. Given the day off because the beekeeper needs to "smoke" the hive, a term you'll learn within, Betty Bumble Bee organizes a fun Scavenger Hunt for her friends, friends of all kinds.

The catch is that the clues ask participants to guess the target color from a visual hint. They're very well done, too, and kudos to the author for finding a way to use a tricky, two word rhyme for orange. Never fear if you don't get it as Betty Bumble Bee quickly explains each. The illustrations are bright and fun and be sure you pay attention to the background and who/what turns up in each. That was an added bit of fun and challenge. The friends work together to solve the riddles, a nice way of emphasizing teamwork as an important skill. And, needless to say, they're learning their colors and about rhymes all at the same time.

Bottom line, this was a fun book that will have children giggling and chiming in to answer with Betty as answers are revealed. Needless to say, they all involve colors, mostly illustrated via lovely, perky flowers although you may not some bug friends in the pictures that fit the description, too. Friends work together, you know. I definitely liked the different level activity suggestions at the end, falling right into the category of challenging young minds while engaging them in a fun task. My only "Huh?" moment was at the start when I wasn't quite clear on how the clues worked but that quickly became obvious to my tired ol' brain. This would make a great addition to any elementary teacher's library or parent's book stash to keep their children entertained and learning at the same time. Thanks. #BooksGoSocial for the sneak peek at this fun read/activity book. As noted, kudos for the way the author managed to find a way to work in the color orange.

The idea behind this is super cute - I like the use of rhyming words, colors, and different insects in there as well. I'll be honest that it took me a little bit to realize what we were "looking" for was rhyming with the item on the scroll. Also props for trying to rhyme something with orange!

The illustration is lovely. The idea and story also great. At the end of the books, author also give some activity thru question to improve or value of lesson learnt.
I’m a bit disappoint when I read it via Kindle, each page is cut into two, and it is unpleasant to read it. However when I try to read it via NetGalley Reader, everything is good.

The illustrations and font choice were great in this book.

It took me a second to realize the underlined words were what we were to rhyme especially because on random pages the key words were not underlined. I think maybe it was an oversight with publishing. I def think that should be fixed.

This was really cute! I loved the repetition, I think it would make for a really fun and educational read for kids. The illustrations were so vibrant and eye catching!
