Editorial Reviews

K-Gr 3-In this companion book to Trout, Trout, Trout!: A Fish Chant (NorthWord, 2004), an ant and 59 other American insects appear in a catchy chant that jumps, flits, and flies across flashy spreads. "Two-spotted Stinkbug, White-lined Sphinx./Tiger Moth, Underwing, hiding pinks./Cockroach, Earwig./Like them? Can't!/Firefly, Flower Fly, Ant, Ant, Ant!" The garishly colored digitally produced caricatures with grossly exaggerated features are not for the squeamish, but will entertain with their humor. The stinkbug gives off a green gas. The dung beetle keeps a roll of toilet paper on hand. A thrip goes waterskiing. The text and illustrations are a natural pairing for exploring the insect world. Curiosity about the odd but real names can be satisfied by short informational paragraphs at the back of the book. A lively addition for insect units.-Carolyn Janssen, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
