Publisher's Weekly Review
Part of the Petit Collage series, this touch-and-feel counting book includes tactile elements set against organic-looking backdrops. "One dragonfly" has a shiny red body; "three beetles" have crinkly, iridescent backs; and a final spread features a big, fuzzy purple flower. A basic but eye-catching intro to counting and insects. Ages 1-3. (Mar.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
Booklist Review
The little ones for whom this is intended may or may not like bugs (or for that matter know what a bug is exactly), but they sure will like this book. The insects one dragonfly, two butterflies, etc. are presented on thick colorful boards with art executed in sprightly collages that have depth and dimension. Best of all are the insects themselves, some with cut-out glittery bodies and others made of soft, touchable material. Use this as a counting book (it only goes up to five, just right for the age group), an introduction to insects, or a fun look-and-touch book that will withstand many readings.--Cooper, Ilene Copyright 2010 Booklist
