(4) K-3 Illustrated by David Biedrzycki. Big, boldly colored beetles illustrate this themed alphabet book, which features a well-chosen array of beetles from African goliath to zinc metallic. Refreshingly unrhymed, the conversational text gives carefully selected information about habits and habitat, though occasional anthropomorphic or silly comments are jarring, and distinctions between beetles and bees, spiders, and cockroaches pop up unexpectedly.
