Bugs Galore by Peter Stein & Illustrated by Bob Staake WINNER CHOSEN


Gather the kids around you and prepare for a giggling, tickling, squinting, rollicking read through this delightful bouncy rhyme feast coupled with a plethora of adorable buggy wuggies  of all shapes, color, stripes, plaids, and spots.  Big and little. Long and stout. Flying, crawling.  These critters will enthrall the kiddies and capture their imagination as their own little fingers just itch to draw some of the bugs for themselves.  So be prepared for them to want to draw, color, and scare you with their own creations.

The imagination of illustrator Bob Staake holds no bounds.  He has so many bugs and critters on each page that the kiddies will be searching and finding for hours or days delighted with each unique find.  There are the specific bugs representing author Peter Stein's delightful rollicking rhyme, and there are the accompanying varieties creeping and flying all around.

A sample of this delightful book....
Big bugs, small bugs,
creep bugs, crawl bugs,
Sky bugs, land bugs,
Slime-your-hand bugs!

(did you catch that giggle?)

Love bugs, Shove bugs,
Head bugs, Bedbugs,
Cute bugs, Fruit bugs,
Live bugs, Dead bugs.

I recommend that you find yourself and your kiddies a copy of this book and get to enjoying it.  Available at your favorite bookseller.
