My son is an insect lover and loves to draw as well. My Nana got this for him for Christmas and he loves it! Drawings are easy to follow for his age(6).

I like teaching ELLs with books that favor interactions. It helps them move out of reading aloud to talking aloud. Activities such as drawing and talking about the process are ideal for them. I use this book for all ages of beginner ELLs when in a thematic unit on bugs and tiny animals.

For the first time in my life, I can draw insects that are recognizable by others. The book was very easy to follow. The illustrations were excellent for my purposes. The only drawback, not enough insects.
