My son can "read" this book at 2, he knows happy, sad , silly, and loves the contrast between quiet and CRAZY! This is a great book for toddlers!

This is one of a series of books about "bugs" by David Carter. Carter's "bugs" are imaginative and fanciful. If you are looking for a book to teach your child about different types of bugs, this is not it. The bugs in this book are not "real" bugs, they are cartoon caricatures of bugs (sometimes barely recognizable as "bugs") showing a number of different feelings and states (happy, sad, hungry, busy, crazy, cold, etc). With that in mind, I highly recommend this book. My 14 month old daughter loves the bright colorful pictures, and the big eyes on all the bugs capture her attention. This is a favorite in our house, and it's fun for Mom and Dad to read to her because it's humorous (check out why one of the bugs is not hungry). The words are minimal but rhythmic and work well for those who have kids who want to turn the pages themselves, because there's not a big storyline to miss if they turn several pages at once - each page stands alone.

Overall a fun, colorful, attractive book.

This book taught our daughter what happy, sad, sillyetc. means! She now points to each picture and says the words! Sheloves it so much I just ordered the other 3 books in the series!

My son picks this particular book out of all of his board books and squeals with delight at every sentence. By the time he is 18 months old he should be able to read it himself. The whole series is wonderful, its colorful bugs are a delight for small children.

I really loved this book. The colors are bright, which catches a baby's attention. The print is big, which allows small children to see it. And the illustrations are terrific, the bugs are adorable. I would highly recommend this book for a baby or small child

This is my one year old's favorite book. It's silly, has wonderful, easy-to-see illustrations, and is sturdy.

It's more about emotions (sad, mad, happy) than insects, which makes it a great tool for teaching about feelings.

we have this in the car and he enjoys it very much

i expected this book to teach about different bugs. it does not. one picture shows a bug reading and reads: "some bugs like to be quiet". this is confusing to a child learning about the world.
