Grade 1-4-- Karla Kuskin's "I am very fond of bugs/ I kiss them/ And I give them hugs" unequivocally sets the mood of this delightful collection. Loaded with action poems full of humor, color, and creepy crawlies, the 20 selections will be fun to read alone or share. The natural movements and details of glowmorms, crickets, fireflies, snails, and ladybugs, to name a few, are wonderfully interpreted through expertly rendered, realistic colored-pencil illustrations. Children appear sporadically as they observe and playfully interact with the bugs. Most of the short poems are easy to read and are well placed on the page to balance the illustrations. The primer-sized print is in bold black ink. When read aloud, the poems are sure to create excitement. J. Patrick Lewis, Margaret Wise Brown, and Hopkins himself are a few of the poets included. More than half of the original sources of the selections are still in print. Hopkins's talent for good topical anthologies is once again confirmed in this appealing book.
