"A welcome balance of lilting poetry and informational text boxes set to Sweet’s eye-catching collage illustrations, Murray’s narrative is designed to reach a broad range of young readers. . . . An approachable poetry collection on a genial topic, chock-full of visual delights."--Booklist

Murray skillfully uses line breaks and meter to bring her subjects to life. . .Sweet’s colorful collage illustrations incorporate scraps of yellowed pages from old entomological journals . . . A friendly package that should draw in even bug-phobic readers, providing a non threatening entree into the insect world."--The Horn Book

"Sweet’s illustrations—with their graceful lines, luminous colors, and sly wit—delight throughout, offering delicious moments"--Publishers Weekly

"Bouncy little poems skitter across the illustrated pages as Murray celebrates bugs, from walking sticks to dung beetles. Sprightly, simple, and with a nice soupcon of information; a fine choice."-School Library Journal

"A lighthearted treasury. . . the poems are clever and humorous . . .Happy-go-lucky fun with words, collage, and a smattering of facts about bugs."-Kirkus Reviews

"Sweet's familiar blend of delicacy and quirky character . . . is perfect for rendering the familiar insects strange yet somehow cozy. . . A tuneful entry in an early insect curriculum."--The Bulletin
