Was this a good story?
I thought this was a wonderful book. This book is constructed of different poems about insects. The poems are meant to be read by two people at the same time. I think students would really enjoy that aspect and could take turns volunteering reading a section of the book in front of the class with the teacher.
Did the language in the book sound natural?
Most students would say that this book does not sound natural, becasue most of them have not read a book with two voices being read at the same time. It may sound unnatural to them when a person is talking over another. However, once they become more familiar with this style of writing, it will make more sense to the students.
Are the factual details accurate?
Yes, the details in the book state facts about different insects that are true facts.
What did the author want to tell me in the story?
The author wanted to educate students about different insects, however doing it in a way to introduce them to poems with two voices.
