Bugtown Boogie, by Warren Hanson


Illustrated by Steve Johnson & Lou Fancher
Rating: Recommended
Laura Geringer, 2008, $16.99
ISBN: 0060599383
Age/Grade Level: ages 3-8



This book would have been a really neat book for this year's Summer Reading theme, "Catch the Reading Bug". It is a cute rhyme about a boy who finds a treasure trove of bugs who are partying like there's no tomorrow. The illustrations are very nice, the rhyme actually makes sense. I think the book would make a great storytime book for preschoolers or older.
