Editorial Reviews

A race among bugs, well that is the premise, silly as it may seem. The race starts, and all kinds of mishaps occur. The ladybug loses her wings; the stink bug lost his pants; the millipede tripped and lost a couple of legs. It seems like there will not be any bugs left to finish the race, but wait, it seems that cockroach is approaching the finish line and so is dragon fly. Which one will win the first place ribbon? The emphasis here seems to be on exercise, and these bugs are showing all the couch potatoes out there that they need to get up and exercise. There is a list of other books to read and safe web sites provided by FactHound. Part of the “Read-It Readers” series, this yellow level title is appropriate for kids who can handle more challenging ideas, a broad vocabulary, and a wide variety in sentence structure.
