Joan Holub takes a clever-and-colloquial approach to teaching early readers about science.
Cute little quips from Bugs with Names all rhyme with the name of the speaker. For instance:
Yay! Rain!
says Jane.
Early readers may prefer the approach here, with its cartoonish drawings, to "I Wonder," Tana Hoban's sophisticated-and-beautifully educational book for early readers.
The prob with Holub's book is that it may foster a shallow approach, a glib-and-jokey approach to science. Personally, I think that children deserve better.
Yet the intended audience for this book would surely disagree. On their behalf, I'll give this book FIVE STARS.
It takes all kinds of Goodreaders to make a world.
