Synopsis
In this ingenious picture book, Children’s Poet Laureate J. Patrick Lewis invites you to visit the Face Bug Museum. There, readers can meet fourteen bugs in Lewis's sly, humorous poems; gaze upon giant close-ups of the creatures' faces in Siskind's photographs; and follow the antics of two beetle friends in Kelly Murphy's artwork. This is a trip to a museum-built by bugs, for bugs-unlike any other. It is also a poetry collection, macro-photography book, and illustrated story-all in one. Includes end notes with photographs of the entire bugs and further information about these creatures.

Reviews
Welcome to the grand opening of the Face Bug Museum, an event that unfolds in light verse and illustrations. After creeping or flying toward the entrance, small critters observe the live bugs on display and play with interactive exhibits. The 14 featured bugs display their special characteristics and behaviors in excellent large (and greatly enlarged) color mug-shot photos and in larger black-and-white pictures that also show the visitors enjoying the interactive exhibits. The rhyming poems, which are varied in form and tinged with humor, often incorporate information about the bugs. Written by the current U.S. Children’s Poet Laureate, the verse is uneven, though it is often clever. The lively ink-and-graphite drawings add another dimension to the book. An appended section reprises the color photos in miniature, along with paragraphs of information in which the animals describe themselves in droll first-person narratives. Combining many worthwhile elements but without creating a satisfying whole, the book is recommended mainly for larger poetry collections. Grades 2-4. --Carolyn Phelan
