Reviews
Bugs in the Backyard is a bright, bouncy, and beautiful book that will appeal to children who read and to those who are read to. Younger ones will delight in the bugs', insects', and arachnids' rhyming stories. Older kids (and adults) will enjoy and learn from the short, easily understood, and often surprising facts. The colorful, close-up photos will encourage children of all ages to better appreciate the 10 quintillion insects living on earth at any one time. -Reatha Thomas Oakley, Award-Winning Writer and Presenter
