My kids really enjoy The Cat in the Hat Knows a lot About That book series and I really enjoy reading them aloud. They are written in a fun,rhythmic way that you would expect from a Cat in the Hat book but are packed with a ton of great information. I always seem to learn some things myself! I had no idea only the female mosquito stings when it bites!
Extension Ideas:
1. Print a picture of an insect. Have the students color the insect and label the different parts of the insect (head, thorax, abdomen).
2. Discuss the characteristics of an insect. Give the students pictures of different types of insects and spiders. Have the students determine if the object in the picture is an insect.

I mainly liked this book because it was overall intriguing even for someone who is not interested in bugs or learning about insects. One reason I liked this book is because of the author’s writing. The rhyming of words makes for a story that flows and engages the reader. Another reason I enjoyed

this book is due to its language, which is very descriptive. The author includes language that is informative for young readers, in that he labels the body parts of different insects and describes their use. For example, a cricket is shown on one page, with the body parts: head, thorax and abdomen clearly labeled and described. Overall this book includes a significant amount of information while not being overwhelming for an elementary reader. The big idea of this book is to inform readers about several different types of insects and what makes them unique. Show Less
