★ "This informational early reader employs a controlled vocabulary
that intentionally repeats words and phrases to facilitate
independent reading. Many recognizable insects appear in the book,
like the field cricket and the bumblebee, but Rockwell also
includes some, such as the little wood satyr butterfly and the
cucumber beetle, that will pique curiosity and encourage budding
entomologists to explore further to learn about bugs they’ve never
met. A fun, educational science book that thoughtfully portrays
kids of color engaging with and learning from nature and each
other." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
★ "[A] beautifully illustrated nonfiction early reader. . . . Like
in many of Rockwell’s other books, this title pairs fun
illustrations with an engaging narrative that makes it accessible.
. . . This volume encourages exploration of the natural world and
supports a child’s natural curiosity. A great book for beginning
readers or to be read aloud."—School Library Journal, Starred
Review
"Well suited to beginning readers, the short, large-type sentences
flow nicely. Equally appealing to preschoolers, the book makes a
good read-aloud, and the clearly drawn, colorful artwork, created
using colored pencils, gouache, and watercolors, is well suited to
group sharing. . . . An effective science book featuring a simple
concept that is carried out beautifully."—Booklist
"Illustrations in colored pencil, gouache, and watercolor capture
the flora and fauna of a garden while keeping venires connected to
the human characters. . . . Love it!"—The Horn Book
