Hustle Bustle Bugs by Catherine Bailey and Lauren Eldridge - ADVISABLE

Hustle Bustle Bugs by Catherine Bailey, illustrated by Lauren Eldridge. NON-FICTION PICTURE BOOK. Little Brown, 2022. 978075557406

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

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

Bugs and insects are an important part of our Earth. Bailey quickly sketches some of the ways different bugs work in a rhyming text, then adds more detailed information in a sidebar. Eldridge’s multimedia illustrations are the real star of the book.  I love the detailed afterword she gives about her process - and glad that the publisher included it. I will probably buy this just for my art teachers to use with students.

The girls in the book are black.
