Mole is back with another bold and riotous large-format poetry book, all about the bizarre world of bugs. Simon has a real knack for taking facts and spinning them into fun poems for children. Accompanied by colourful, energetic illustrations from Ming. * The Bookseller *
An excellent way of introducing children to the world of bugs and firing their curiosity about the natural world. It might inspire children to write their own poems or act out animal or insect monologues. Highly recommended. -- Brenda Marshall * English Association *
