Bug in a Vacuum

A richly illustrated tale of unexpected tragedy and how we all (even bugs!) learn to adapt.

This book would make a great resource when helping a young child come to terms with life's unexpected upheavals. I loved the illustrations with thier wealth of unexpected detail and unspoken parallel storyline of loss for the family dog who is separated forever from his stuffed doppelganger. The writing is terse and makes for great read-out-loud theatrics. In short, loveliness all over and highly recommended for all of the picture book crowd.

Thank you to the nice folks at Random House for sending me this review copy.
