From Publishers Weekly
BUGS! David T. Greenberg, illus. by Lynn Munsinger. "Greenberg once again indulges a child's delight in yuckiness with bugs, accompanied by Munsinger's clever illustrations," said PW. Ages 4-8.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 4. Nonsense rhymes celebrate an invasion of bugs and suggest myriad outlandish uses to which they might be put. Stringing fireflies to light up Christmas trees; making a butterfly bracelet, a beetle brooch, and an earwig nose ring; and using spider webs for tissues and millipedes for dental floss are some of the far-out ideas. Revolting foods ("Praying mantis pizza/Is a culinary must/With lots of extra maggots/And a daddy longlegs crust") should bring shudders of disgust to young readers who devour the repulsive. Whimsical watercolor drawings capture the gross humor.?Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY

Before you buy Bugs!...,

This review is from: Bugs! (Paperback)
This is a good book. It's gross and charmingly off-beat, just as the other reviewers claim. It also rhymes and makes a good out-loud read. And it is very, very outlandishly funny.
However, we also have David T. Greenberg's book Snakes! and it is just as appealingly gross and much funnier. Plus, the rhymes work a bit better for out loud reading. If you are only getting one of his books, I'd go for Snakes! But before you buy, a quick warning! Neither this book or the Snakes! book are for kids who take things literally or who are easily frightened. I'd only recommend them for children who really "get" puns, word plays and jokes. It is the perfect book for older kids who still love to have books read out loud to them. P.Gould, co-author of Feeding the Kids: The Flexible, No-Battles, Healthy Eating System for the Whole Family

Creepy crawly fun!,
By
This review is from: Bugs! (Hardcover)
This book is just plain gross... but ALSO, it is truly funny! I get a big kick out of the fast paced jaunty way it reads out loud, and the way it makes your skin crawl as you read it. My son who is 2 may be a little young for it...he may even go out and eat a bug because of it. I think it was a little creepy to him at first (with the boy riding on a REALLY big black spider), but now he requests it, and enjoys the funny illustrations as well. It is not scary by any means, but more silly and gross. I recommended this book for kids ages 3+ for a creepy crawly good reading time.

Hilarious! Entertaining for all ages.,
By mikepmf@madbbs.com (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bugs! (Hardcover)
I checked this book out from my local public library to read to my children, ages 6 and 3. Not only did my children find it an enjoyable book, they wanted to keep it. It has ben passed around my children's school, and has only recieved great reviews by the teachers. It is a book that will be added to the school's library.
