Pocket Pests Beetle
Collect your own little pocket pests and learn what they eat, where they live, and how they survive in a giant world. This little book about various beetles comes with its own plastic toy beetle. Hardcover with the toy attached to the front, 16 pages, 0.5 x 4.2 x 5.2 inches.

Very informative childrens book. Lots of pictures and information that hold my 4 year olds attention. The book is made well.

Maurice Pledgers makes great books for toddlers and preschoolers. In this one we meet many many different kinds of bugs. Not only do we get to learn about them through the text, like how they hide or what they eat, we also get to feel them with some of the textures included and each page has a flap to lift to find out more information about the bugs. My two year old had a great time reading and feeling this book. And both us learned something new about insects.

The book was about a snail who was trying to get the best father's day present ever. It starts out with the snail talking about his other father's day presents and how they were bad. He tells what his other father's day presents were. Then he sees his friends are going to the shop to get their father's day presents. The snail decides to go too, but his friends were the last three customers to get in because the store was closing early. When the snail was walking home, he found a rock with a ring on it. He gave this to his father who thought it was good luck. He also found a leaf cup filled with water.

I liked "The Best Father's Day Present Ever" by Christine Loomis because it was a book about snails and I like snails.

THE BEST BOOK I EVER READ!! EVERYONE MUST READ THIS!!

Spider Webb's The Big Book of Tattoo is a Must-Own book for tattoo enthusiasts! It contains 512 black & white photoghaphs of tattooed men & women dating from the early 1900's to the 1970's!
An ideal book for anyone looking for a source book on the history of Tattoos.
However, this book is not for the prudish... It contains many photographs of nude tattooed & pierced women.

Great for any tattoo enthusiast or anyone who's looking for a source book on tattoo history in the United States & abroad!

I also recommend, The World of Tattoo: An Illistrated History.

My son is 19 months old and can not get enough of this book. We literally read it 15-20 times a day. The story line is adorable and opens up several opportunities to talk to your child about feelings and social graces, but the thing that really grabs you are the beautiful illustrations. Talk about a visual treat and an instant vocabulary builder! Hope you love the book as much as we do.

My daughter is doing a bug project for school, and the book was perfect. She refers to it constantly for information and it helps her to identify the bugs she has collected.

Bugs, usually when you think about them you think of teeny tiny crawly things that you can hardly see, ant and fleas, flies and garden spiders. Okay, so you can see them, but they are very, very small. But did you know that not all bugs are so tiny, some grow to a pretty good size, bigger than a cookie even. And those big bugs are depicted in this book in all their pictorial glory, big and scary looking. Well scary looking to my girls, but scary as they are, my girls keep coming back for more. They just loved this book when they were toddlers, they still do. If you've got kids, you can't go wrong with THE BIG BUG BOOK.

Wonderfully written and superbly illustrated by author/artist Yetti Frenkel, The Big, Blue Lump is the picturebook story of a tiny blue bug with a peaceful heart. Though he might appear tasty to animals such as a hungry yellow chick, he has a unique defense... it isn't a good idea to swallow the blue bug or one just might get swallowed up in turn. The simple artwork adds a touch of charming whimsy, reinforced when expected behaviors such as a chick swallowing a bug give way to unusual situations such as a pig swallowing a dog! An easy-to-read story especially suitable for young people making the transition from the simplest picture books to slightly more wordy ones.
