AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Rushing through the Museum of Wildlife, a grandpa and his grandson find what they were looking for: the bugs exhibit. As the grandson’s love for bugs grows, he must learn an important lesson about treating them with care and enjoying them for what they can do in nature.
The color pallette is mostly greens and blues which is lovely given the theme, but a little bit monotonous after a while. I love stories that focus on nature, but I thought this was a little shaming if kids do collect bugs in jars.
