A great addition to young children’s library

Great book. Good information for kids, about bugs, in rhyming text that held their interest. Colorful pictures that reinforced the information in the text. My four year-old pre-K class enjoys and has learned from this book.

Little ones enjoy learning about bugs in this Dr Seuss story

Kids really enjoy this book being read to them as it is very much in the Dr Sues style. Fun way to learn facts about common insects.

Dr. Seuss Bug Book

I purchased this book for my granddaughters (4 and 6 years old) and I must tell you that they absolutely loved it. We read it tonight. The pictures where awesome and funny. The wording was awesome. As always, Dr.Seuss books never fail!!!

However, my daughter loved it, and that is all that counts.

Worthy of the name

What you can expect when you receive this (You already ordered it, right?) is a hardcover durable glossy exterior, and an interior of vibrant illustrations where the colors go all the way to the edge in big shapes that really pop off every page. There are a generous number of pages, with maybe just a little more text than the average Dr Seuss book, but pretty close to the same. The content impresses in a way that you might take for granted.
