BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
APPEALS TO: MANY
This charming picture book follows the plants and creatures that call a “mossy mountain bog” their home. Readers discover that even the messiest places can be full of magic. Hevron’s illustrations make the mud, moss, and dragonflies feel like you could reach out and touch them. The text is in regular font while the insect and animal conversations are in different font making it easy to differentiate between the two. Bog Buddies is a wonderful reminder that there is beauty in the muck. It’s so easy to look at a swamp or a bog and think it’s just a dirty puddle, but this book helps kids (and adults!) see the life and importance hidden there. It’s simple, soulful, and very, very cute.
The conversations are adorable! Teachers and parents will love reading out loud this picture book as much as little ones will enjoy listening. This picture book can be used in a unit on the ecosystem.
