Review: Great book to learn the alphabet, reading about bugs!

I loved this alphabet book; I loved the rhymes and I loved my kid laughing at the drawings and the text. Parents cherish the moment when their young kid “reads” the book back to them for the first time; you don't know if they are really reading or if they are reciting the book by memory, or both. And let's face it: it is a magical moment for the little guys too.The special thing about this book is that it is all about… bugs! And who doesn’t love bugs? (Okay, my mom doesn’t love bugs, but apart from mom… who doesn’t like bugs?) Children are always thinking about little insects; they are intrigued by ants, butterflies, and worms; the whole package. So this book is an excellent start before further proceeding into the deeper study of insects, known as entomology.Kathryn illustrates her own books and it was interesting witnessing her evolution as a plastic artist since “It stinks to be pink!” This book has a nice consistent theme and tone through all pages and colors are nicely balanced through all letters. I, as babies, love primary colors!So if there is a small bug expert at home dying to learn the alphabet, by all means, go for “EZ as 1-2-3, Come learn about bugs A-Z”
