Some Bugs is some kind of terrific! This bright, colorful ode to insects is a perfect choice for toddler story times. The text is minimal, with a smooth read aloud flow. We take a delightful tour through the insect world and learn that "Some bugs sting. Some bugs bite. Some bugs stink. And some bugs fight!" The rhyming is spot on the author manages to include quite a number of bugs. The text ends with an encouragement for youngsters to go out "and find Some Bugs in your backyard!" For the true insect lovers, the last two page spread is entitled "What's that bug?" and identifies all the bugs seen earlier in the book.Brendan Wenzel's design and illustrations are whimsical and endearing. His big eyed bugs are incredibly cute and his scenes are full of energy and motion. My favorite spreads were of the ants dismantling a picnic and taking the food underground, and the spread featuring bugs that hide. Kids will have tons of fun finding the hidden bugs! Larger animals appear where you least expect them, seamlessly blended into the background. These well designed layouts guarantee lots of requests for repeated lap sharing as kids discover new things each time.Some Bugs is a must have for story time and also an excellent choice for any toddler or preschoolers' personal collection. The flowing text and the big and colorful illustrations make it a natural fit for group sharing, yet it's the fun little details that guarantee kids will come back to it time and time again.
This is a fun book. The illustrations are cute and appealing. The writing is simple, but it's catchy and for kids who like bugs it's a great read. It's got a nice read aloud quality and there's a ton for a child to pore over in the pictures. We borrowed it from the library and while my 4 year old enjoyed it, it was a little young for him, so we bought it as a present for his 2.5 year old cousin instead. It was a hit. I'm not sure I would have bought it for myself, as there's not much to it, but as a gift, it's great.
Some Bugs is a fun, quick read with a simple sing-song rhyme playing through its pages and illustrations that feel wonderfully alive. It puts little kids at eye level with all these buzzing, battling, building insects, like they're in their own backyards, on hands and knees, seeing small wonders for the first time. Everything's so bright and colorful and lively you want to pull out the pages and frame them for the walls. Already my six-month-old loves to reach for everything in the illustrations. No doubt it'll be a favorite book of hers for years to come.
This is such a great book for your little ones to read or have read aloud to them. The artwork is fun and bright and I love the great rhymes and versus about some bugs. Glad we could add this special book to our children's library. You will love it!
We heard this book for the first time at a story time program, and my 4 year old and 2 year old girls instantly loved it. Yes, my GIRLS loved it. The rhyming text and colorful illustrations are wonderful. Add this book to your library. It's a winner!
This story is not only fun with a good cadence and rhyme but the illustrations are fantastic! The bugs are beautifully depicted in a rich outdoor world. There is more fun to find than bugs in each scene.
This book is a true literary treat. The images are spectacular. The rhythem and rhyme of the story is delicious. I bought this book for an in-class activity in preschool (4 year olds), but it turns out that this has become my 2 years favorite book...and one of mine as well. Some bugs will remain a classic in our own library.
This book is fantastic! It if fun for both parent and child. My Husband and I have both read it to our kids at least a hundred times and neither of us are sick of it (I don't think it will ever become annoying to read, which is a huge deal). It is one of my 18 month old's favorite books. She loves the cadence and finding the ladybug on each page. She has also learned to identify a lot of bugs from this book (she can already point to half a dozen bugs by name). My 3 year old has this book memorized and loves to read it out loud. The illustrations are fun and enchanting. This really is one of the better picture books out there.
