About this title

About the Author

Margaret Wise Brown (1910–1952), best known as the author of Goodnight Moon, wrote countless children’s books inspired by her belief that the very young are fascinated by the simple pleasures of the world around them. Among her many bestselling books are The Little Island, The Golden Egg Book, The Color Kittens, and The Sailor Dog.

G. Brian Karas was born in Milford, Connecticut. After graduating from Paier School of Art with highest honors, he worked as a greeting card artist at Hallmark Cards in Kansas City, Missouri. After three years he moved to New York and began freelancing as a commercial illustrator. His first illustrated book was published in 1983 (Home on the Bayou, which won the Boston Globe–Horn Book Honor), and he has since illustrated more than 50 books for children. His first book as an author-illustrator received a Boston Globe–Horn Book Honor in 1997.

Reviews

PreS-K—This lovely title dedicated to insects is a perfect choice for children who are beginning their journey with early readers and whose dominant language is Spanish. Short, three-to-five word Spanish sentences are presented in large text, often with a white or light background that makes them easier to read. A diverse cast of children and adults are shown in locations like the park and a café, sharing their environment with a wide variety of insects such as ants, caterpillars, and bees. Insects are shown in natural habitats, in the grass or among flowers, as well as in humorous and familiar situations, including ants taking some potato chips and a child being chased by bees. Words used will spark conversations on colors as well; terms like brillantes, redondos, and terribles will help emerging readers build their vocabularies. The lovely color pencil illustrations present a beautiful world full of insects and curious children. However, bicho is a vulgar word in some Latin American countries, such as Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, and Costa Rica. VERDICT An excellent addition to Spanish early reader collections for children. But, readers from some Spanish-speaking countries might have a hard time looking past the offensive word in the title.—Selenia Paz
