PreS—"One little blueberry fell onto the ground." This event sends nine different kinds of bugs chasing after the shiny, tasty treat, but a bluebird dives down to retrieve the "yummy prize" before any of the insects can get a taste. Children will enjoy the rhyming and shiny laminated accents in the illustrations and the classic counting-book style. The heavy cardstock pages make the book easy to manipulate for the targeted audience. This is an average offering, but the ending will delight toddlers.—Rachel Artley, Watertown Elementary School, TN
"One little blueberry fell to the ground. / Two tiny red ants spied it from their mound." A parade of insects and arachnids pursue the berry. Their efforts are thwarted by a bird that "swooped down and ate it-- / Gulp! / --right before their eyes." The rhymes, though unremarkable, do scan. Illustrations featuring smiling bugs give little fingers something to count.
