Bugs

I Love

by Steve Parker

The wings of a mosquito beat 500 times each second.

The mantis is green to match the leaves around it.  This means that its prey does not notice any danger until it is too late. 

Monarch butterflies can fly 90 miles in a day.

Younger readers will love this series of first fact books.  Simple text and beautifully detailed images cover children's favorite animals.  Ideal for reading and sharing with your child.

Reviews

[Alexandra Topitzes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reading Level: 4.0

Book Level/ Guided Reading Level: Q

I Love Bugs is an Informational Text book for children that provides fascinating facts and detailed illustrations on a variety of bugs that children are apt for encounter frequently in their surroundings.

This book would understandably be an ideal read aloud for any level of elementary grade during a science unit on insects, or even more specifically, the life cycle of butterflies. On an individual basis, this would be a great book for a teacher to recommend to a student who shows a high amount of interest in bugs for independent reading. Additionally, this text would also be a good mentor text to demonstrate the writing traits of conventions, organization, ideas and presentation (I particularly like how the author draws arrows to point to a particular aspect of the illustration to exemplify the text), for students during writing workshop mini lessons.
