Beetles are fascinating! They come in all different colors, sizes, and shapes. What’s not to love? And right up there with real live beetles are books about beetles.
BEETLE MANIA by Megan Litwin hits all the right notes in this follow-up to Bug Catchers, the first book in her DIRT and BUGSY series.

As a long-time, primary-grades teacher, I know the importance of “just right” books for emerging and progressing readers: an engaging plot, eye-catching pictures that support the text (expertly illustrated by Shauna Lynn Panczyszyn), along with repetition, decodable words, and familiar sight words. Add in a bit of “beetle math” – sorting bugs into child-friendly categories – and you know you’ve struck early reader gold!
Be sure to search out these books for your kiddos who are practicing their early reading skills!
