Fun, educational, versitile - By: Dr. H. Payne, 03 Jun 2007
As long as you don't expect a storybook with a narrative you won't be disappointed. Each double page of this book is incredibly detailed with flora & insect life. Along the sides of the pictures are a selection of the insects singled out & named with a large, clear number by their side indicating how many of the little creatures you're looking forin the picture. The scenes are often from far-flung places such as deserts or jungles, with some more local forest & meadow scenes.

My three-and-a-half year-old son ADORES this book. Despite it not being a story he loves it at bedtime. He chooses which insect to search for & it really helps his visual scanning & concentration as he looks back & forth for each bug. Of course it also helps strengthen counting abilities, especially number conservation over delays & interruptions as he becomes distracted by some other interseting looking creature & asks about it.

I love books which are sneakily educational! This works for both my son & I.
