pickHere‘s my review for this book from the #naturalitsy buddy read list. This was the March book. I‘m still trying to catch up with the buddy read. In the UK, the book title is Extraordinary Insects but in the US, the book title is Buzz, Sting, Bite.
“Something in an ant is sure where these morsels belong, but the ant could not explain this Something in a poem is certain where its words belong, but the poet could not explain this. All day the ant obeys an inexplicable order. All day the poet obeys an incomprehensible demand.” ~ Jane Hirshfield

My Busytown book bag has passed the rigorous Kitty Inspection Process and is all ready for read-alouds Tuesday morning! After a busy several days (family and friends visiting from across the country for my spouse's 50th, an early-morning emergency room visit for my father-in-law (he's doing well now, thankfully), and an earthquake), I feel ready to be back in the classroom with the preschoolers reading about animals.
I am, as Mrs Bookwomble put it, identifying the fuck out of these bees! 🐝🔍🤓
This is a Garden Bumblebee. Other visitors to the flowering shrub in our back garden have been the Honeybee, of course, a Common Carder Bee and a Red-tailed Bumblebee. The tagged guide has 28 of the most common of the ~250 British bee species, and it's enriching my lazy day in the sun 🌞
Also had a few Common Blue butterflies for variety 🦋
bailedwoah, eww, and what did I just read? I think I liked it? Everything that is happening in this book is confusing. I honestly have no idea who this book would be appealing to. It is vulgar and vile, but also hilarious. The explicit language and constant mentioning of being horny because of so many different things was just too much for me. The sci-fic aspect was the coolest part with giant grasshoppper/praying mantis-type bugs taking over the world.
