Press & Reviews

“In What's Your Favorite Bug? Carle showcases the work of 15 friends whose responses to the title question offer a wonderful range of styles, media, and palettes together with brief stories, poems, and comments. A terrific prompt and conversation starter for young artists.”

—Kirkus Reviews

“Artwork dominates and each What's Your Favorite Bug? artist lets their personality shine through their choice of bug, their explanations, and their designs. Inviting participation from a variety of voices adds so much interest to this book. The youngsters will be forming opinions, agreeing, disagreeing, and answering for themselves what it is that constitutes their own favorite bug, and why. What’s Your Favorite Bug? is a creative stand out, a little collection so full of personality that the reader will be tempted to look for the other titles in the series.”
