A curious child lifts a garden rock and discovers a lively universe. These bugs might send a small shiver down an adult’s spine, but the colorful, whimsical illustrations are just what any playful child relishing gooey and squigly creatures wants to approach. The short rhythmic sentences are a perfect tool to approach French reading and natural sciences to boot, since all these charming creatures are found in the Atlantic provinces!
