This book in a very simple informational book. It describes all the different types of beetles, in simple terms that children can understand. There are green beetles, and brown beetles. Buzzing beetles, humming beetles, and steadily drumming beetles. Then there is "fly-in-the-air beetles." Then at the very end of the book it has information about beetles and all the different types in sentence form. The really neat thing about this book is the artwork is done by pouring colored cotton fiber through the hand-cut stencils. There is also a rhythm that goes along with the story, so it makes it a fun read.

Recommend to: Young children still discovering the world, and the creatures in it.
Problems: None, this is a good book for everyone.
My Reaction: This is a beautiful book, the illustrations is what makes this book really special. The beetles look like they have texture. This is a simple but awesome book.
