pretty spotty bugs. But the best bugs are hairy bugs―eightlegged scary bugs that send the boy squealing. Perfect for miniscientists everywhere!

Emma Dodd is the author and illustrator of What Pet to Get. This is her first book for Holiday House.
This large-format picture book expresses a child’s admiration for many different sorts of insects and even a spider. Childlike in its broad use of the term bugs, the text juggles sounds and rhymes skillfully. The first eight double-page spreads carry rhymed couplets, such as “I love flouncy frilly flutter bugs and silly clitter-clutter bugs” and “I love whiny-buzzy-sound bugs and glide-across-the-ground bugs.” The final pages build toward the climax: “The hang-from the-ceiling bug . . . / and send-me-squealing bugs!” as a little spider casts an enormous shadow, frightening the narrator away. Varied in composition, palette, and scale, the illustrations have great vitality. Dodd often uses broad black lines to define forms against plain backgrounds, but the artwork includes a great many textures and patterns as well. The drawings of insects capture each species’ essential characteristics, and the cartoon-style eyes give individual critters personality. Easy to see from a distance, this would be an excellent choice for group sharing. Preschool-Grade 1. --Carolyn Phelan
