Dodd's protagonist--a curly-haired tyke--loves bugs of all kinds: "the hang-from-the-ceiling bugs... / and send-me-squealing bugs!" Energetic illustrations of the child and large cast of insects make interesting use of perspective. Though the text is occasionally clunky, the book is still an engaging read-aloud.
