Fiction text: Super Worm
Bugs is like a bug dictionary. It illustrates all types of bugs ranging from slugs to spiders. The chapters include basic and interesting facts about all sorts of bugs while keeping the kids having fun. At the bottom of the pictures that have all the bugs in a category together, the book will ask where a certain bug is. The book teaches kids while playing a search game. I paired this book with the fiction text Super Worm because this book shows how many different things a worm can do with its long body. The book shows the worm catching another bug from falling down a well, acting as a jump rope for other bugs to play with, and saving a toad from crossing the street at a dangerous time. The story also tells about a bird catching him and keeping him as a servant to a lizard wizard. The worm escapes by digging into the ground for days and returning to his friends again. In Bugs, on page 66, the author gives details about worms and how they dig. It also states how worms keep the soil healthy. These two books make a twin pair because Bugs gives facts about what Super Worm does. Super Worm is important to his friends and worms are important to the soil, as stated in Bugs. The books both show how we need worms in our lives.

(Bugs, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Entry #3)
I chose to pair these two books together because Bugs and The Very Hungry Caterpillar are books that can be used with the primary grades. The book Bugs talks about several different types of bugs and gives pictures along with facts about them. I could then select one of the bugs and choose to read a book about it. I would choose a Caterpillar and talk about how we saw it in the book Bugs and talk about the features of a Caterpillar. The Very Hungry Caterpillar would be great to use because it is for the primary grades but is also a very popular book that illustrates a caterpillar becoming a butterfly. I can remember reading this book when I was younger and I absolutely loved it.

Twin Text Entry #3: The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle
I chose "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" as a twin text to "Bugs" because they both talk about bugs in an interesting way for children. "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" was a popular book when I was younger and was often chosen by my peers. It has many colorful pictures, just like "Bugs" and is also reader friendly for primary grades.

Oh bugs. So fascinating and so gross.
My favorite part is when the dung beetles are imported into Australia to deal with the country's cow dung problem. Insects saving the world from the nasty effects of human colonization.
Many children would probably love this book. For me, it is ok. A little bit too much text for me.

This is a great research book for insects and arachnids. Children could read this book and the online book to get facts about their favorite bug and see what they really look like close-up. Super bright illustrations, lots of charts and diagrams, this book not only teaches them about bugs, but how to synthesize data and information.

It's an ideal book for the children who want to improve their English reading skills.
Also, this book is a good source for getting information about bugs and its species.
