Synopsis

Insects take center stage in this follow-up to the wildly popular, Trout, Trout, Trout! (A Fish Chant). Whether you love bugs or hate'em you won't be able to resist chanting this rowdy text. Bold and clever illustrations turn creepy-crawlies into hilarious, endearing creatures that will make even the most hardened non-bug-lover laugh and loud. And budding entomologists will love the end matter, chock-full of factual information about insects.

About this title

From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 3–In this companion book to Trout, Trout, Trout!: A Fish Chant (NorthWord, 2004), an ant and 59 other American insects appear in a catchy chant that jumps, flits, and flies across flashy spreads. Two-spotted Stinkbug, White-lined Sphinx./Tiger Moth, Underwing, hiding pinks./Cockroach, Earwig./Like them? Can't!/Firefly, Flower Fly, Ant, Ant, Ant! The garishly colored digitally produced caricatures with grossly exaggerated features are not for the squeamish, but will entertain with their humor. The stinkbug gives off a green gas. The dung beetle keeps a roll of toilet paper on hand. A thrip goes waterskiing. The text and illustrations are a natural pairing for exploring the insect world. Curiosity about the odd but real names can be satisfied by short informational paragraphs at the back of the book. A lively addition for insect units.–Carolyn Janssen, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH
