Amazon.com Review

A hilarious introduction to the insect world, On Beyond Bugs will have your preschooler giggling away while learning all kinds of interesting entomology facts. Answering questions like "why do flies buzz?" and "how do bees communicate?" in the musical rhymes long associated with him, Cat in the Hat makes a delightful tour guide. Who else could manage "ants are so strong they can lift things that weigh over ten times their weight and they do it each day?" The sturdy, easy-to-clean-cover makes this book a good choice even for very young children. For those just beginning to read, the phonics-based repetitions are a big help. (Preschool to early reader) --Jill Lightner --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Kindergarten-Grade 3-Fans of Dr. Seuss's favorite feline will enjoy learning through rhymed couplets and cartoonlike illustrations similar to the originals. Each book combines basic facts with interesting trivia to introduce readers to topics that are sure to be of interest. From Bugs: "Here is a riddle/I learned from my mother./How's a skunk and a ladybug/like one another?/When danger is near,/it is easy to tell-/they suddenly give off/a terrible smell!" While the grammar is off, Seussian rhyme is rarely totally correct ("thunk"). In Space, readers learn, "On Venus the weather/is always the same-/hot, dry, and windy,/with no chance of rain." The familiar format and entertaining text are sure to appeal to beginning readers.

Review

"There is a big gap between 'concept' books written for preschoolers and nonfiction that requires fluent reading skills. The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library books introduce beginning readers to important basic concepts about the natural world. They provide the critical foundations upon which complex facts and ideas can eventually be build. In addition, The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library shows young readers that books can be entertaining and educational at the same time. This is a wonderful series!"

What you can expect when you receive this (You already ordered it, right?) is a hardcover durable glossy exterior, and an interior of vibrant illustrations where the colors go all the way to the edge in big shapes that really pop off every page. There are a generous number of pages, with maybe just a little more text than the average Dr Seuss book, but pretty close to the same. The content impresses in a way that you might take for granted. What it does is present ideas that are familiar to my three year old son, but mixes them with new ideas and vocabulary he is less familiar with. I would like to think that the average person knows the word "abdomen," for example, but can most people point out this section on an insect? The whole book seems to play this game of establishing a base knowledge kind of idea, then expanding on it just enough to offer the kid little opportunities to know what other people don't know. I think that is at least a small part of my son's fascination with excavators and tractors is that he wants to believe that he is helping us by informing us of what his knowledge has led him to believe these machines are. Did you buy this book yet? Good! Finally!

Learn About Bugs

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2019

I got this book for two reasons - it was Dr. Seuss related and it looked like something that might help my 2-going-on-3 year old daughter's fear of bugs.

While it was a Car in the Hat book, it wasn't written by Dr. Seuss himself, and it shows with some of the repetition of words in the rhyme scheme - while informative, it wasn't Seuss-like creative. However, my daughter loved it, and that is all that counts. Just wasn't a fun read to her for me (only because I loved the original Dr. Seuss books, this didn't seem to flow like one)..

The important reason for my purchase was to help my daughter's fear of bugs. It did indeed help - she learned and understood that while some bugs might be scary to her, they are indeed helpful and very useful. That actually curbed some fears and honesrly, helped make being outside in the summer wonderful, so for that, I am thankful!

My daughter loves watching The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That cartoon, so I thought it would be nice to supplement it with the books from the The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library, so she can learn more about insects without realizing it! It is very informative, colourful, has all the characters from my daughter's favorite cartoon, plus written as a poem (of course, the rhyme is not of dr. Seuss' quality and sometimes feels forced and awkward). However my biggest complain about this book is that there is no story line. In the cartoon series usually Sally and Nick would come across a problem which Cat in the Hat helps them to resolve by introducing them to some animals/plants/insects, etc. At the end the problem is solved and the kids learned something new about the featured creatures. The book just starts with the Cat in the Cat introducing himself and inviting everybody to look around and find insects.
- he talks about classification of insect (who IS and who is NOT an insect and why)
- three parts of insect's body
- insects' eyes are insects' antennae
- how different insects protect their lives
- little bit about ants (how strong they are)
- a bit more on bees (everybody takes care of the queen, communicate by dancing and collect pollen, which helps more flowers to grow)
- little bit on fleas (animals itch cz of them)
- why flies buzz
- little bit on mosquitoes (only females bite)
- caterpillar into a butterfly
- firefights (they flash, put them into a jar and then let them go- that's it!)
My daughter asked me to read this book once, when it just arrived. After that I would just grab it off the shelf with the requested books and read it towards the end. She wouldn't mind, but would never ask for it herself!

OK, but not excited

I bought this book in preparation for a public library story-time. The rhythm is slightly off at times (reptiles book is lots better), and there were 2 entomological bloopers I spotted. Unless you read VERY carefully and put the accent on the right word, the author could be saying insects are blind, which they are not. Also, there is a picture in which a cricket is chirping --with an obvious ovipositor. Males chirp, females don't. Females have ovipositors, males don't. I'm still going to read it to my grandson, but being careful to accent the right word, and explain errors. It's still an OK book with lots of good info geared for little kids.

Some Dr. Seuss books are a lot of nonsense words and I get it like they’re vintage that’s cool. But among the more modern ones this is probably my favorite one yet. Are used it for a bug unit and it actually has good information and is very cute

My grandson liked this book, he discovered insects this year. This was a great addition to a bug house and exploring kit I had ordered him. Great price, not a lot of pages but has enough information for a curious 3 year old.

I tell my son that I have a new book for him. About what? --he asks. About bugs.--I tell him. He looked disappointed. Then I tell him that it is from Cat in the Hat series. He looks at the cover, sees the bees and agrees to read it. I'd say that the authors have made reading about bugs more fun than I could have imagined. This is by far one of my favorites from the series possibly because I learned a lot of new facts myself. It was simply a good read with the 3-year old. My son concluded: I really like books from series Cat in the Hat. Note that I read these to him in English and then translate to Polish. We bought used book in very good condition and it arrived looking as new.
