Insectlopedia by Douglas Florian

5.0

This is one of my all time favorite books of poetry by Douglas Florian. Each of the 21 poems is about a different type of insect, including weevils, mosquitoes, crickets, termites, and more. The poems have different rhythms, patterns, and shapes, and each suits the insect it is describing. The fabulous illustrations enhance the poems. The poems beg to be read aloud, but they can also be enjoyed individually.
