Book Reviews of The Bugliest Bug
Book Review: Bug Books
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a very nice book. The book is suitable for ages 4-8. I use it for grades K-3rd (ESE & ELL). I like the illustrations, but they tend to be rather clustered and numerous for this age group. This makes the pages a bit too busy. The pictures are animated in nature and vivid in color. However, the illustrations are not scientifically accurated--six legs. I like the print size and the location of the print on the pages. The book has several bugs that most books do not have. Nonetheless, I do like this book. I wish I had bought it in a hardcover because I use it for reading and language arts. I suggest reading the book over time such that students grasp the message. I also suggest spending time reviewing each page because they contain a great deal of information. The book is not great for science because of the inconsistencies in the characterizations of the illustrations from page-to-page--sometimes the same type of bugs are triangular in shape and sometimes they are round in shape and their leg numbers vary. This can be very confusing for young students. They are very hearty visual learners at this stage. The illustrations do not support the theme...six legs vs. eight legs.
