Industry Reviews
PreS-Gr 1-Kirk turns his vibrant oil paints to a celebration of letters and bugs. Brightly colored insects work their way through the alphabet as they prepare a surprise birthday party for Miss Spider. Vocabulary such as "fireflies fandango" and "owlflies ogle" makes this offering less of a concept book or easy reader and more of an appreciation of the alphabet. The story will work one-on-one or in group settings with an adult to explain the more difficult phrases. The neon-bright, almost three-dimensional illustrations are detailed but not too cluttered. The text complements the paintings as the partygoers await the guest of honor, who arrives riding a zebra butterfly. Appealing to a younger audience than Miss Spider's Tea Party (1994) and much gentler than Miss Spider's Wedding (1995, both Scholastic), this book makes a child-friendly addition to the series.-Martha Link, Louisville Free Public Library, KY
