Interesting illustrations, not run-of-the-mill.”
“1. I love this children’s book by Florian. The illustrations are colorful and she paid a lot of attention to do detail with how the words were written. The inchworm poem for example is written in the shape of an inchworm. The main themes of the poems are the anatomy and the behaviors of each insect. This poetry book would be great for kindergarten or 1st grade students. Uses in classroom:

a. Science: The teacher could read the children “The Caterpillar” poem then provide real caterpillars for the whole class to observe the transformation from caterpillar to pupa to butterfly.
b. ELA: The students could be asked to write a sentence or two about their favorite animal and draw a picture.
i. A teacher could point out that the structure of poems are different from everyday writing
c. Math: While reading, the students could be asked how many legs certain insects have.

“Great way to combine science and language arts.”

Grade: 1-3
Summary: Great collection of short and simple poems about insects that are well known. Review: great water color pictures for each poem which both emphasizes
and disguises the insect. The children would have to really look at the picture to find it.
Classroom uses:
*lesson on poems
*the library
*if someone likes insects”
“Terrific.”

“A (sometimes concrete) poetry filled festively illustratrated book about insects, their purposes, and for some of them, their gross-out factors. It even has a useful table of contents!

"Upon a twig I sit and pray for something big to wend my way; a caterpillar, moth, or bee--I swallow them religiously." ”
