My Review


By Lynda Dickson
Learn your ABCs while you learn about insects! This book is a treasure trove of information about all sorts of bugs. Even I learned something, and that's coming from a scientist! For example, did you know that the praying mantis "turns his tiny head one hundred eighty degrees"?
Kathryn's illustrations are simple yet accurate and are on colorful backgrounds, so you can teach your children colors as well! This is a delightful and educational book sure to please children as well as their parents.
