5.0 out of 5 stars AuthorZone.Com Book Review, July 18, 2003

By	AuthorZone.Com Book Review "illuminati-order" (Knoxville, TN United States) - See all my reviews

Arthur the Beetle has found a nice big juicy berry. He is so thrilled and begins to move the berry home. When the berry stops rolling Arthur has a problem to solve. How Arthur works out his dilemma and gets the berry to his house is what this story is all about.

The Beetle and the Berry is a colorful book of 14 pages children should enjoy. I enjoyed the tale, and the opportunity The Beetle and the Berry presents for classroom teachers, home school teachers and parents to guide their student discussion about problems and problem solving. The Beetle and the Berry is a book classroom teachers will find of value for `free time reading' and for `student tutor' use. Home school teachers and parents will find The Beetle and the Berry is a good addition to their library.

The vocabulary used in The Beetle and the Berry presents a `read-to' circumstance for ages 3-5 and read alone for readers who read on a first/second reader level. The one change to the book that I as a teacher would like to see is a Vocabulary list at the end of the book.

One day Arthur the Beetle finds a large, juicy berry big enough to feed him for a week. Excited by the discovery, he begins pushing it home, planning how much he is going to like eating the berry. Then suddenly, his berry gets stuck, and Arthur the Beetle has to figure out how to unstick it.

Sometimes approaching a problem straight ahead just will not work. There are times when a problem can only be resolved by backing off, and approaching it from a new direction. This is a difficult life lesson for most children to learn, but Annie Applefield's THE BEETLE AND THE BERRY makes this concept easy to understand. Highly recommended.
