I love this book. I've used it with my kids at work and plan to use the book in my classroom. It is super fun for children. It makes learning about patterns fun, from the bumble bee buzz buzz buzz to the cricket chika chika's chika chika, its super fun for children to follow along. The sound the bug makes is repetitive and this story allows children to follow along and get really invested in the book. This book really shows what children should see in a pattern book because of the amazing different patterns as well as the images, and text that repeats!… (more)

I give this book a 5/5. This is such a fun & cute way to emphasize patterns for children. From the bumble bee buzz buzz buzz, sip; the caterpillar nibble nibble chew, bite; the cricket chicka chika chika, chirp. Important everyday occurrences are pointed out during these meaningful patterns. Patterns are something that happens over and over again, as in the images of the objects and the same words over and over again. This book shows children what they should see in a pattern book, since it has strong content of different patterns!… (more)
