The Icky Bug Alphabet Book

By: Jerry Pallotta / Illustrated by: Ralph Masiello

Are we bugging you yet?

For many children, "icky" bugs are endlessly fascinating. This book helps children discover why farmers like the praying mantis, how the water spider breathes underwater, and other intriguing facts about the world of bugs and insects.

Jerry Pallotta's lighthearted text and Ralph Masiello's vivid illustrations make this alphabetic exploration of small animal life both fun and informative.
