a delightful little picture book, perfect for those aspiring young entomologists! With clear, detailed photos and large bold print, this book deserves to be a staple in all junior libraries. Each page includes one labelled photograph of an insect against a pastel background, encouraging young children to use their observational skills to describe each bug’s physical attributes. The inclusion of the shield bug and lacewing introduce readers to some less common Irish bugs. While this board book is most suitable for infants and pre-schoolers, children in my 1st class who are new to Ireland & are learning the English language, really enjoyed this. It inspired some conversation about similarities and differences of creepy crawlies in Ireland and their home countries. They were excited to recognise English letter sounds and decode some of the words. We also used this book to inspire some scientific observational drawings, giving children time to explore details the may not have otherwise noticed. I would recommend this book for pupils of junior classes or for children new to Ireland with an interest in mini-beasts - by Kathleen Byrne, Cherrywood Educate Together NS, Dublin 18 -- Seomra Ranga this little board book is bright, colourful, and tough enough to withstand the rigours of being loved by toddler readers. Young children, more usually offered A is for apple, B is for ball beginner books, will likely be far more engaged by the close-up photographs presented here, of house flies and worms, shield bugs and ants … with bold, simple text, this introduction to creepy-crawly creatures is one that babies and pre-school children will love to get their hands on -- The Echo
