Some Bugs
Angela DiTerlizzi, illustrations by Brendan Wenzel
ISBN: 9781442458802
Super cute, super short, and lively primary-colored pages with LOTS of energy and movement.
This one is going straight to the storytime list. I can't wait to do another Bugs storytime to set this into as my middle book. It's super short, and the pictures are amazing. We're easy on plot this time around: just a continuing narrative that rhymes over spreads "Some bugs sting. Some bugs bite. Some bugs stink. / And some bugs FIGHT!" We get lots of different kinds of bugs, in a vivid version of a natural habitat, and set up so that they're easily identifiable with the aid of the "What's That Bug?" page on the end (a brilliant idea, by the way). We do have a spider or two (not bugs!) but given the aim for the youngest naturalists, I'll let that slide. Expect to see this one coming up in the Storytime rotation sometime this spring when I get all naturalistic and inspired by the warm weather.
