Review

A little fly is trying to navigate about and imitates lots of other insects to try to find what he can do best. He can't wiggle like a worm, swing like a spider, or dig like an ant. Will he ever figure out what he is meant to do? The illustrations are oversized, colorful and amusing. The text will have little ones moving all around trying to swing, flutter, and flit about. This is a good addition to a picture book collection. At the end of the books are bug facts which might be too young for the littlest picture book listeners to understand but children a bit older will find these fascinating. Who knew that caterpillars can eat for two days straight?

Overall Book Score: very good
