FROM THE CRITICS
Children's Literature
With thirtythree words, this early reader introduces bugs and counting from one to five. The word bugs is repeated an appropriate number of times to match the number of bugs displayed in the scene. This is a book that will ensure success for young readers and one that I would have eXpected to be categorized as a level A rather than a B. The bugs are not named so teachers and parents may have to do a little homework to be able to answer the inevitable questionswhat kind of bug is it? Although not a scientific term, bug is commonly used to identify insects or insect like invertebrate. A word list and information about the author and illustrator wrap up the book. Level B in the "Rookie Reader" series. 2000, Grolier, $17.50 and $4.95. Ages 6 to 7. Reviewer: Marilyn Courtot 0516216589
