This book is for early elementary. (K-3) This book has amazing illustrations along with interesting facts about all the different kinds of bugs. The text is very fun and easy to understand. It is written to catch the eye of the reader. One of my favorite things about this book is that it comes with a magnifying glass, which allows the students to be engaged the whole time. The students will actually feel like real "detectives".
Summary:
Any bug you can think of in the whole world is mentioned in this book. From beetles to spiders to beautiful butterflies, it's all there! On every page there are brief introductions and facts scattered all around. This book also comes with a magnifying glass, which allows the students to be "detectives" and complete all the "missions" they find all throughout the book.
Educational Purpose:
I would use this book when learning about bugs. I will read this book to my students and allow them to come up and use the magnifying glass to find and see the different bugs. The students will all have their own copy of this book on their desk. After I finish reading the book, the students will be asked to complete all the missions throughout the book and if time permits, the students will be asked to complete some of the additional activities in the back of the book. Because of how hands-on this book is, I feel my students will learn a lot and of course, have fun!
This sounds like a fun and cool book to read to a classroom! They can be interested in it and still get something out of it. The illustrations must be cool ones also. Great job on this!
