Bugs on the Move |
"Photography is central to Heinemann’s books for preschool readers, and the marvelous extreme close-ups that fill the Comparing Bugs series do not disappoint. Using a classic picture-on-top, text-on-the-bottom format, each title begins with a “Meet the Bugs” chapter before examining the insects’ fascinating (and rather icky) habits. Bug Babies dares to ask: Is there anything cuter than insect babies? Actually, everything is cuter. Gelatinous balls, honeycomb-like bunches, and the white pellets of eggs are shown in all their grody glory. Some babies, it is pointed out, look like their parents, while others (like the ladybug) resemble entirely different animals. For awhile, Bug Food peacefully observes the acrobatic leaf-munching of ants and caterpillars, and then we get to the chapter entitled “Blood and Poo.” Possibly the most surprising photo in the series is of a mouse being eaten by a huge centipede. Spiders’ tunnel-shaped webs and termites’ mud towers make Bug Homes a bit of a revelation. Nowhere is the photography more impressive than in Bugs on the Move, where flea jumps, grasshopper hops, and beetle scampers are caught midact. ...[T]his will elicit plenty of wows. And yucks."
