This lift-a-flap book is all about insects and bugs—perfect the adventurous and outdoorsy child in your family. Katz’s protagonists are not strictly male even though the book is about bugs. Katz’s illustrations and the use of flaps are what really appealed to me in this book. The insects peek out from behind foliage making it easy to see where a child being read too could be prompted for an answer to the questions that the text poses. The colors are bright—as are all of Katz’s. Rhymes help with the rhythm of the text.
