Nice

### 4/5 — Alphabet of Insects

*2017-07-12*

I very much enjoyed this ebook. The illustrations were colorful and detailed. The pronunciation of each insect's name was very helpful, especially when it came to the "xyelidae." The sound effects (buzzing, chirping, etc.) were a nice addition. I appreciated being able to touch various elements in the picture (insects, plant parts, etc.) and hear their names given. I do wish that when I touched the eyes and legs they would have been individually named, as well. Overall, this was a very good selection, and I plan to use it in one of my upcoming storytime programs.

### 2/5 — Too much for too little

*2014-07-31*

Not worth 3$.  Should be .99.  Has a few nice bugs, but mostly different types of ants.  Don't waste your money.
