What’s Your Favorite Bug by Eric Carle and Friends - ADVISABLE

What’s Your Favorite Bug by Eric Carle and Friends. PICTURE BOOK. Godwin Books (Henry Holt and Company), 2018. $18. 9781250151759

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE.

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Fourteen well known author/illustrators tell readers what their favorite bug is through either direct explanation or poetry. This is paired with an illustration by each different artist. The art is all beautiful and carefully curated. 

The effect of compiling various illustrators together makes the power of art stand out in a way that I think adult readers will appreciate more than young readers. This book could be used for a project in which the students themselves have to articulate what their favorite bug is and why and make a piece of art to accompany it.
