Five buggy friends
A few years ago, there were a group of children assigned to my class at the time who were avid about books and reading. Every day at random times they would gather books and “Five Buggy Friends” was one book in particular I remember reading to them every day. It was about five bug friends that could all fly, and they buzzed around a garden “zipping, zooming and fluttering about looking for a place they could call home” I enjoyed this book because the illustrations are bright, vivid and a good learning tool for counting. The words are large enough for all the children to see from a distance. I think the children liked that the bugs were raised and made for an excellent tactile experience for the children. When you turned each page a bug disappeared because they found a home they like; with each bug I entertained the children with a different voice to make it fun and exciting. I have not read this book for some time, yet I still recall the phase stated earlier. I consider it one of my favorite children's books.

I have not heard of this book, but I will find it. I love the fact that each bug is raised up to feel. Great idea about the voice change! Thanks :o)
