From School Library Journal
PreS–K — Visually detailed, this solid offering presents brief descriptions of a variety of bugs. The mixed-media illustrations are rich with textures and patterns as insects creep, inch, and flutter across each page. The bold, rhyming text makes this a fast-paced read-aloud: “Some bugs STING. / Some bugs BITE. / Some bugs STINK. / And some bugs FIGHT!” A dramatic final spread encourages young readers to explore: “So kneel / down close, / LOOK / very hard, / and find / SOME BUGS / in your backyard!” Colorful endpapers provide labeled drawings of dozens of bugs. DiTerlizzi makes it clear—it’s a bug’s world, and what a beautiful world it is.
