About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a high energy, exploratory mood or when they have suddenly developed a 'yuck' reaction to creepy-crawlies. It is the perfect antidote to bug-related anxiety, transforming potentially scary insects into sources of fascination and humor through bouncy, rhythmic text. While technically a concept book about the natural world, its true strength lies in its exuberant celebration of diversity and curiosity. The whimsical illustrations by Bob Staake take the 'scary' out of the many-legged, making it ideal for toddlers and early elementary students. It is an excellent choice for building vocabulary and encouraging a joyful, inquisitive relationship with the great outdoors.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book mentions 'dead bugs' and 'bed bugs' in a very matter-of-fact, secular, and humorous way. There is no heavy emotional weight attached to these mentions; they are treated as part of the vast spectrum of the insect world.
