This story is about a small dragon called Kaida, she lives in a meadow full of abundance. Being a friendly dragon she is, she loves to observe insects around her and always offer helps when needed, but one day, during her joyous frolickinh around the meadow, she encountered a friend who's in trouble, can Kaida uplift the burden they are having? Follow her journey tp uncover the ending❤️ .... As I read the story, I cant help doting on the main character, She's cute and a good little dragon. Not only she's inquisitive but also helpful to those around her. On the other hand, format wise, I think the accompaniment visuals and coloured words help to create a fun reading experience as it is vibrant with colours and images. I felt like I'm on journey alongside Kaida throughout the story. Hence, I think it could serves as a good reading resources among young readers.

This is a cute colourful book for younger children that teaches them about compassion and helping others while learning about the importance of bees. The story and illustrations were also enjoyed by my three-year-old. It’s nice to read a story with good morals that is combined with something educational. Thank you to Xanda Monteiro and NetGalley or providing me with a free electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely love encouraging magical little books. Kaida the dragon is appreciating all the nature that surrounds her, wandering around visiting friends, but one her friends is sick. This children’s book teaches the importance of friendship and kindness. However, it also teaches children about other critters, what they are doing, why they do it. The illustrations are so colourful and whimsical. It just such an easy and encouraging tale.

Kaida and Bella will take your kids on a colorful adventure. Kaida’s kindness to her friend shines through with her concern for Bella’s health. Although she was a busy little bee, she was able to care about her friend. It was an educative and fun little book. It teaches kids to know and understand all about friendship and love.

I loved reading this to my toddler with all the cute Beehive Secrets and the Magical Meadow by Xanda Monteiro is about Kaida, a curious dragon that’s friendly and helpful, who goes exploring the meadow. She meets Bella the Bee who’s feeling sick and she’s not the only one. Kaida gets help from Mr Butterfly and goes on a mission to cure Bella and her friends of their mysterious sickness.
This is a story of our bees and their wellbeing. It’s a tale of hope, teamwork, wonders of nature, power of friendship and collaboration. It shows the importance of pollination and hard work of bees. It is beautifully illustrated

Sweet and beautiful
The artwork is beautiful. The story's theme of helping one another (as people or as nature is naturally interwoven and connected) is a wonderful lesson to be taught early in this sweet story.

Très bel ouvrage. Ludique, au travers d’histoires magnifiquement imagées et illustrées, pour que mon "boutchou" puisse ensuite continuer sa petite exploration.
J’espère le début très prometteur d’une nouvelle collection à suivre…
A picorer au gré des thèmes abordés avec Kaida sur les merveilles de la nature.
Pour bilingue
