Insect Detective: Read and Wonder (Read and Wonder)

by Steve Voake

Charlotte Voake (Illustrator)

“Gently encourages young readers to explore their natural surroundings and observe some of the more commonly found insects in it.” — School Library Journal (starred review)

Right now, all around us, thousands of insects are doing strange and wonderful things: wasps are building nests, ants are collecting food, and dragonflies are readying for the hunt. But it's not always easy to catch sight of these six-legged creatures; you have to know where to look. Guided by this book, readers will happily become insect detectives and find out just what those bugs are up to.
Back matter includes an index.

This book is fabulous and fascinating. It is perfect for us right now as everything is coming out to play and AppleBlossom is constantly asking what is this and that. While this is above her reading level, it is a great read aloud. She will even go back and stare while flipping the pages and telling me what is what that she sees within. While I would prefer that she not grow up to specialize in bugs and insects, this is a very interesting child's read. So many facts and quite enjoyable. This book will definitely fill many hours with education. I'm also quite a fan of the artistry and I think it fits the book perfectly.

*Thanks to Candlewick Press for providing a copy for review.*
