These are the books we read during our little bug unit... I recommend all of these, and I know there are a lot more out there that we didn't get to. Feel free to leave your favorite bug book(s) in the comments! :)
We especially enjoyed the Backyard Books "Are You A..." series - we only read the spider and dragonfly ones, but they were so well done I'm anxious to read them all. They interested M and described the insect in perfect terms for a young child, while helping him imagine himself as the bug. I just can't say enough good things about them - be sure to check them out if you can find them!
Have a beautiful day! :)
I am doing a bug theme this week.
ReplyDeleteThe "Are You A..." series sounds excellent. I am going to see if I can get my hands on these books as they seem like an ideal way to learn about bugs.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to what you said about M and anything that has batteries being a hit. Today, Blakie spent a lot of time with one little battery operated train. He is mad for battery operated cars and trains. It is such a neat idea to do a craft that involves a flashlight.
We also really enjoyed "Are You A..." series - we read Butterfly and Snail. I have to add - I enjoyed them more than Anna, since she is kind of different to insects :)
ReplyDeleteNicole, I have an award for you on my blog. :)
