Soundprints Publishing has teamed up with the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History to deliver a quality learning book to your child through their Alphabet Series of books. Author Barbie Heit Schwaeber's gift for rhyming text creates a wonderful learning experience for your child's venture into the world of...bugs! Here is an example:

G is for Grasshopper.
The grasshopper is hard to catch.
Would you like to know why?
She has two legs and uses them
to jump up very high.

The team of illustrators has created very detailed illustrations of each insect highlighted in this book so that your child is sure to recognize each insect if they spot one outdoors. Tucked into a pocket of the front hardcover is a Read-Along and Musical CD. A kid-friendly Glossary is found right after the end of this story, and there's also a detachable detailed poster that highlights each insect studied in the book. This would be a wonderful book for you to read and study with your child before taking a nature walk to see how many of the insects highlighted your child can recognize. I give this a high five for fun!
