I've read a number of rhyming stories for kids - some good, some not so good - but "Bugs!" stands out for the quality of the illustrations. The bugs are very nicely drawn in color, and to the best of my knowledge, they're anatomically correct, in contrast to the cartoonish bugs that are often shown in children's books. Twenty-two bugs are shown, all of them insects except for one spider.The story works as a nice introduction to bugs for young kids. Some bugs like the scorpion are scary looking, and the story notes that these can sting, so it's a good chance for parents to talk to their kids about bugs and mention that some bugs can be harmful and should be avoided.
