review 1: This is a wonderfully funny creative non fiction book. Words and illustrations work together (as they should) to create a book that both children and adults will enjoy. I must admit to being surprised that this book made it to publication because its main premise is as a spoof of an adult's book - how do children get the joke? But perhaps it doesn't really matter, because the book is fun in other ways too. I am just glad it WAS published! Writing about such a complicated topic in so entertaining a way makes this book a very worthy contribution to children's non fiction literature!
review 2: This seems like a cute conciet - a What to Expect When You're Expecting book for bugs that teaches about insect life cycles- until you realize that the intended audience pro... morebably has no idea about that particular series of books. The illustrations are cute, I guess, and the writing is age-appropriate. However, I think if the author wanted this to serve as factual non-fiction, available for students doing reasearch, she should have included a few real pictures instead of all illustrations. Cute, but there are several other books on this particular subject that would be better buys for a teacher or librarian. less
