The Best Bug Parade (MathStart 1)

This book is a great educational, but fun book for children ages 3-6 years old. This book was written by Stuart J. Murphy, and illustrated by Holly Keller. Stuart Murphy has written many books. He has a series called Math Start, for children; there are 60 books in the series with over 60 million copies sold. This book is his first published (1996). It is a great book for children, to help them start on a path to learning size relationships. It has picture of different bugs and animal and asks "Which is smallest? Which is the biggest? Although it is without a plot, the book has great pictures, and would be excellent for a short bed time story. The kindergarten group that I read this book to really enjoyed it, I had to read it more than once to them!

This is a great book to teach size relationships as well as some basic reading words. The illustrations are great. However, I think the recommended age range (4-6)is a little off. My two year old loves the book, a friends 4 year old thinks its boring and too short.
