“This book is clever enough to appeal to parents. It's also silly and fun enough to appeal to preschoolers on up. Finally, it's chock full of interesting facts, making it really educational too, for all you insect lovers out there. It's a great addition to a preschool unit on bugs, or just a silly addition to your bookshelf!”
