Oddhopper Opera: A Bug's Garden of Verses by Kurt Cyrus 2001
"Under the thunderheads, over the trails,
Rumbling, rumbling-here come the snails!"
The snails are joined by a cast full of characters that lurk in the garden. Detailed artwork invites us to observe the precarious world of insects throughout the seasons. Beautiful rhyming language tumbles across the page, following the ever present trail of ants.
Cyrus gives a stark, yet witty representation of the life cycle of the amazing creatures outside our windows, whether searching for food, or becoming a meal.
This down-to-earth read will encourage everyone to bend down and take a closer look next time they step outside.
Appropriate for ages 4-8
