Bug Off!: Creepy, Crawly Poems

(3) K-3 Photographs by Jason Stemple. "For oh, you are / a lovely fly. / Just / do not go / and multiply." Accompanied by excellent close-up photographs and a factual paragraph about the featured insect, these lighthearted rhymes capture each bug’s essence. After the fly, Yolen profiles a praying mantis, butterfly, lovebug, tick (with one questionable fact), as well as seven other creatures.
