Cricket in the Thicket: Poems About Bugs

40 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | May, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8050-9818-1 $17.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Melissa Sweet. Twenty-nine common insects and arachnids are on display in Murray's lively poems and Sweet's inviting mixed-media illustrations. The poems employ a variety of forms and rhythmic structures; Murray skillfully uses line breaks and meter to bring her subjects to life. Sweet's colorful collage illustrations incorporate scraps of yellowed pages from old entomological journals--a nod to the solid information embedded in the poems.
