Fleming, Denise

Beetle Bop

(3) PS "Big beetles, small beetles, / crawl-up-the-wall beetles." Who knew there were so many different types of beetles? The verse is descriptive yet succinct, featuring jaunty internal rhyme. Variations in type cleverly reflect the content of each line, and the text interacts playfully with Fleming's strikingly textured pulp-painted close-ups. A page of beetle facts is appended.
