5.0 out of 5 stars Daughter loves this book., June 4, 2001

This review is from: Bugs in Space : Starring Captain Bug Rogers (Hardcover)

This book is full of silly plays on words, like "Capt. Bug Rogers" and "The Bug in the Moon." Although my 4-year-old daughter doesn't get the references, she still asks me to read it again and again. Every page has a pop-up, a movable piece, or flap to open. She broke two of them, which I was able to glue back together, good as new. Personally I thought it was kind of hokey, but I rated it 5 stars because it certainly seems to reach its audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bugs in Space, January 8, 2000

This review is from: Bugs in Space : Starring Captain Bug Rogers (Hardcover)

Our five year-old son received this book as a gift and it was a delightful surprise! We laughed out loud through the whole book. It was very fun to read. Lots of interactive fun! This was our first book by David Carter but I would buy another. Very young children would like it too but I would be afraid of it holding up without getting ripped - not that it is too flimsy but that young hands would want to grab it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Children's Book!, October 6, 2000

This review is from: Bugs in Space : Starring Captain Bug Rogers (Hardcover)

This is the first "Bug Book" by David Carter I have bought. It has wonderful illustrations and pop-ups. I thought it was a little young for my four-month old son when I bought it. However, I thought it was too cute to pass up. As it turns out the colors are so vivid and eye-catching and the pop-ups so entertaining, that he actually laughs when I read it to him. I highly recommend it for children of any age. I plan on buying many more of the "Bug Books".
