BUGS & CRITTERS I HAVE KNOWN Audio CD

Amusing and very appealing collection of verses about insects and sea creatures by Ann Heiskell Rickey is sure to push a kid’s giggle button and warm a grown-up’s heart. The subjects’ natural habits and habitats, as well as their anatomical pecularities, are depicted accurately, but the critters do have personalities. Poems feature a challenging vocabulary with sophisticated wordplay and rhyme schemes, and they are best enjoyed when read out loud. Great way to entertain the family on your next trip. Poems were recorded by actress Lara Parker. 70 minutes.

Two short poems in the collection:
Lady Bug
Lady Bug, Lady Bug, don’t fly away,
My roses have aphids, I beg you to stay;
Your house is not burning, your children are fine,
Lady Bug, Lady Bug, sit down and dine.

NoSeeEms
You won’t find noseeems
In insect museums;
They’re either too small
Or . . . they’re not there at all.
