I’m sorry but for me this book was just boring. The illustrations are well done, colorful, and are perfect to go with the story, but the story is long, wordy, and boring. It’s more a non-fiction look at the daily cycle of animals and plants than a story for group reading.

A cute little educational book that will teach children that even though we go to sleep at night, the world doesn't. Insects scurry about, stars shine bright, and animals are on the prowl. Children will learn about pollination, a butterfly's transformation, and even common bugs around the house like silverfish, cockroaches, and centipedes. Find out interesting tidbits about why a fly swatter has holes and how insects communicate. There are oodles of facts here and this would be a great early book for children interested in entomology. The illustrations keep it interesting and this is a simple read for elementary students!

I'd like to thank Edelweiss, the publisher, and the author for sharing a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Three kids dislike they food that their mother gives them. They start hiding it under the floor, and eat only the dessert. The floor starts smelling very bad and one that it explodes and falls on one of the kids. They learn their lesson and now they eat everything they are given.
