Instilling a love of books and reading in our grandchildren is very important to us, so I’m always on the lookout for new bedtime story books or books I can use to help teach them to read. The Mantis Man Can! is broken down into three sections, each one geared towards a different level of reader, which I really appreciated. Our grandson is a very reluctant reader, while our granddaughter just devours words. This book works for both of them. The illustrations are entertaining too. They like the “Hero Bugs” who have an apparently bad bug tied up with rope. There’s also a good message to go with the story, in that Mantis Man starts out wanting to be a Hero Bug but fails… and fails… and fails… but he never stops trying, until at long last he succeeds along with your child who has finally succeeded in reading all the way to the end.
