Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Libraries that collect board books will want to consider this engineering feat that combines shapes and colors to sometimes amazing effects. Each double-page spread presents a box and a question about its contents. Alliteration punches up the narrative while the pictures are eye-popping watercolor bugs with ink details and mechanical wonderments. Brown basketball bugs actually bounce, purple pickle bugs almost pinch readers' fingers, and a snazzy silver spitfire bug flies. All in all, the book is a lot of fun, but it's too delicate to circulate. --Anne Connor, Los Angeles Public Library

My two-year-old boy loves "More Bugs in Boxes." He makes me read it ten times a sitting. I originally got this book from the library, but I was terrified he would rip it apart, so I had to buy it. It's been so worth it. And although I have to keep an eye on him with it, it's still in one piece.

Pros for my kiddo:
The colors are vibrant.
The bugs are super-creative.
The pop-ups work well.

Pros for me:
Encourages love of reading
Great for learning colors
Great for learning inside/outside
Great for couting
Great for learning descriptors (size, shape)

Sorry I don't have any cons, it's just a fun book!
