I would recommend all of the Bugs in Boxes books for people with young children. They are fun to read and have lots of really cute bugs while teaching children to count or name their colors.

I love this book because it is a pop-up book about colors but with a strange illustration that children would love to re-read all over again. The first page of the book it says, "what kind of bugs are in the yard-long YELLOW box?" It shows the word yellow in capital letter so that children can learn how the word yellow looks like, and the next page shows a yellow box. Children have to open it in order to see what is inside the yellow box, and I can let children take turns opening the pop-up page. The answer to the questions was a bunch of brown bouncing basketball bugs. This keeps the children guessing and eager to know what type of bug they will see next. The colors are vibrant.

1- I really liked reading this book because is a pop-pop book. Children are always fascinated with these types of books. I believe this book offers more than just colors. For me, I can say there is some Math and Science. We can talk about the shapes we see and count several items in the book. For Science, I see many different bugs, we can talk about different bus and their rolls and their colors. The pictures are amazing in this book, they pop up with so many different colors.

2- Children would love to have this book always around them to read it. I will try to read each page first because they're going to try to touch it. I will be for sure interrupted many times while reading this book. I think this is good because I know that children are learning through reading.

So much fun and such cool bugs!

Simply written and cleverly designed with pop out features, Carter's book of alliteration would make a wonderful mentor text for poetry in any aged classroom.

I would recommend this picture book for children as the alliteration incorporates poetry. The students also experience rich language, practicing their phonemic awareness.
