Title: Publishers: please reprint this book!
Review: Some great children's books, like Where the Wild Things Are, never go out of print. But that's really the exception that proves the rule: most great children's books (I suppose like most books in general) do go out of print. It makes you wonder, when you start browsing through all of the lame current offerings, why publishers aren't scouring through existing stock to pluck out the gems. This book definitely falls into that category: it's charming in every way. There's a homespun quality to the whole thing: it's about an everyday world that just happens to be populated by bugs rather than people. The bugs here don't do anything extraordinary: they just clean their houses, go to the store, to the park, to the zoo, and to the parade. But that's what makes it so fun: the bugs here are not creepy or scary, they're just ordinary family folk. This book is a real hit in our house, with our little boy AND his parents. Try to find it in the library!
