School Library Journal
PreS-K-This spare story in rhyme shows a little boy in a safari outfit armed with a camera going out to explore his house and yard. Halpern uses a bright palette and outlines the simple drawings in bold black lines. The pictures are somewhat flat, but their clarity will appeal to young readers. Scientists, however, will decry the use of the word "bugs" to include insects, arachnids, and nematodes and condemn this early taught misconception. The rhyme scheme is unclear at first and the text is lackluster. The endpapers have some interesting "bug" facts, but this trivia will appeal to an older audience. Bob Barner's Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! (Chronicle, 1999) has a much broader appeal for the same age group; the rhyme scheme is clearer, and the fantastical collage illustrations are more attractive.-Be Astengo, Alachua County Library, Gainesville, FL Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
