I was in the mood for something fun and light this morning, so I’ve highlighted the picture book Do Doodlebugs Doodle?<\/em> Amazing Insect Facts<\/em> by Corinne Demas, Artemis Roehrig, and illustrated by Ellen Shi at Wrapped in Foil blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Overall, Do Doodlebugs Doodle? <\/em>has a lot of positives going for it. First, there\u2019s the engaging premise, which is to ask silly questions relating insect common names and then astonish the reader with an actual fact about that group. For example, the authors ask, \u201cDo horseflies gallop?\u201d The accompanying illustration shows a jockey riding a horsefly. Turning the page, the reader learns that although horseflies don\u2019t gallop, they can fly faster than a horse can gallop. Cool!<\/p>\n

Ellen Shi\u2019s illustrations are just the right mix of silly fun and realistically-portrayed insects.<\/p>\n

It also has some pedigree. Corinne Demas is an award-winning children\u2019s author and Artemis Roehrig is a biologist who works with invasive insects. Persnickety Press is the sister imprint of the Cornell Lab Publishing Group, which is doing Jane Yolen\u2019s wonderful bird series.<\/p>\n

Despite all the positives, I have to admit I was a tiny bit disappointed with one aspect of this book. If you’re curious, visit the blog<\/a> for more details.<\/p>\n

The authors dedicate their book to budding entomologists. Check out a copy and find out if doodlebugs do indeed doodle.<\/p>\n
