Cool book for kids.
August 11, 2017
This is a informative and fun book about creepy crawlies! What kid doesn’t like bugs? My two are fascinated by their tiny wings and legs and their amazing eyes!
While at the library I let the kids pick whatever children’s books they want. More often than not a few books like this pop in the bag and I do my best to encourage their curiosity.
BUGS had just the right amount of information mixed with fun to keep my mini readers entranced. The cover is bland and I expected the pictures to be a bit boring but they weren’t at all! Might work on that cover a bit though. It’s not very eye catching.
The only complaint (other than the cover) that I have is that this series ( Biggest Baddest Books for Boy) is incredibly sexist. I dislike teaching children that some things are aimed toward their gender and those are the things they should be interested in. I’m very unhappy with this categorization. Bugs are for everyone. Period.
Due to the boring cover and sexist categorization I’m rating this book at 3 stars.

March 19, 2015Twin Text: Little Squeegy Bug By Bill Martin Jr. and Michael Sampson
Rationale: I chose The Squeegy Bug because how different bugs have different ways to keep them safe. The Squeegy bug wants to be it talks about how the Squeegy bug changes from the beginning to the end of the book.
Text Structure: Description, Chronological Sequence
4) I would have the students discuss using information from Biggest, Baddest book of Bugs to describe what is happening to the bug. The students would also talk what they learned from both books to create their own bug. They would need to explain the different parts of their bugs. The students could also compare and contrast the Squeegy bug and other insects.

A good, straightforward book on bugs. Lots of basic information for kids about all the stuff they want to know: the cool, gross and weird facts. The design of the book is very trendy, with great graphic design and colorful, detailed photos. This book will definitely appeal to kids and I predict it being a very popular addition to our non-fiction shelves.

Another great book about bugs to add to a science lesson. So much to explore and learn!

Great for grabbing a (younger) boy's attention to the wonders of the insect world.
