“Battle Bugs: The Poison Frog Assault” continues the story of Max Darwin’s association with the inhabitants of Bug Island and of his assistance in their war defending their island from the reptilian army of General Komodo. Through the magic contained in his book “The Complete Encyclopedia of Arthropods”, Max is able to shrink to bug-size and appear on Bug Island. There, he acts as special advisor to General Barton, the titan beetle who heads the Battle Bugs, and seeks to keep their island safe from the invaders of Reptile Island.In “Battle Bugs: The Poison Frog Assault”, well developed bug characters having likeable personalities and their ingenious human friend Max Darwin again combine forces to defeat their villainous reptile foes. In his continuing attempts to overtake Bug Island, General Komodo has allied his reptilian army with a fleet of poison dart frogs and insect-hungry vermilion flycatchers.Jack Patton is a clever author who knows how to appeal to young readers. Imbuing the bugs with human personalities, yet allowing them to remain “buggy” results in some humorous situations and conversations. Clever wordplay, for instance members of the underground firefly resistance having names like “Glower”, “Lumens”, and “Phosphor”, provides additional amusement. The battle scenes are exciting and suspenseful – young readers and listeners immerse themselves in the action on Bug Island.Patton also slips interesting, educational facts and observations into the text so subtly that they become part of the story and a reader learns something without knowing their knowledge is increasing. The vocabulary used in “Battle Bugs: The Poison Frog Assault” is not simplistic and adds another educational facet to the story. Brett Bean’s numerous, detailed Illustrations increase this book’s appeal for younger readers and for youngsters to whom you may be reading.I think this offering is the best of the three Battle Bugs books; it is exciting and the story flows smoothly and logically. It is an interesting story and, for the target audience, the situations are suspenseful. My grandson loves the Battle Bugs series and has eagerly been asking when his copy of “Battle Bugs: The Poison Frog Assault” will arrive. I am sure he will find “The Poison Frog Assault” an exciting addition to the Battle Bugs series and that I will be reading it to him innumerable times.

My 10 year old son's favorite book series! The AR tests seem to be very doable. He has made a 100% on everyone he has taken so far. This is not always the case and there have been some books he has really struggled with as far as AR testing is concerned. Highly recommend for little boys.

My 6 year old son loves this collection. I original got him the first one at his school book fair and immediately ordered the rest because he kept bugging me to buy him more. He enjoyed it so much that he finished the first, second, and third... Would have to check and see if they have a fourth

My son wanted the entire series for his bday. I have skimmed the book and he is glued and says that they are very adventurous. Gets his imagination going!

Another winner in this house. My 7 year old son LOVES this series. He hated reading until we found Battle Bugs, now he wants to read all the time!

My 2nd grade son reads these in one sitting, about an hour. I figure if he's reading it can't be a bad thing.

My 5 year old really loves these books and Will be ordering more

My son LOVES this series. It was a speedy delivery too.
