Eat Your Rocks, Croc! Written by Jess Keating, Illustrated by Pete Oswald Burt the Beetle Doesn’t Bite By Ashley Spires Meet Dr. Glider. She is available to help any animal with any problem. Within this picture book, each double page spread combines stories, jokes, cute illustrations and interesting facts about real animals. Did you know that, “ants will kidnap aphids to keep as pets.” Or that frigate birds, “nap in midair while they fly?” This book will be enjoyed by all budding animal lovers. Meet Burt the June Beetle, an insect that does not bite and looks like a watermelon. He’s quite cute with his feathery antennae and smallish size but he soon learns that he doesn’t have any superpower-like abilities that other insects have. He’s not particularly strong like the ants or able to release powerfully smelly smells to scare aware predators. This is a cute graphic novel that shares scientific information about insects through the guise of a June Beetle who is trying to figure out his talents. As he figures out where he fits in with these backyard insects we also have a story about friendship. Again, this is an enjoyable scientific book that will be enjoyed by preschoolers through early elementary aged children.
