I Like Bugs

Lorena Siminovich. Candlewick/Templar, $6.99 (10pp) ISBN 978-0-7636-4802-2

Part of the Petit Collage series, this touch-and-feel counting book includes tactile elements set against organic-looking backdrops. “One dragonfly” has a shiny red body; “three beetles” have crinkly, iridescent backs; and a final spread features a big, fuzzy purple flower. A basic but eye-catching intro to counting and insects. Ages 1–3. (Mar.)
