Reviews

This is terrific nonfiction for lapsitters... This is a tour of bugs, done so beautifully that there is no ick factor, just appreciation for all the work that goes on in the garden... A glorious way to introduce children to bugs; the renderings are realistic enough to teach and the facts each are solid.-- "School Library Journal (starred review)"
