My three year older and I adore this book. The made up language makes us laugh and we are now fluent in ‘bug’ the storytelling is wonderful and will really help develop those little imaginations. Every time we read this book we discover new things and I feel that it is teaching my child about nature and discovery, feelings, loss and rebirth.

This book is fabulous for helping adults to understand how a child with little language feels when sharing a book. It draws attention to the skills used by children to understand books, as well as highlighting the skills adults need to employ to make stories and books easily understood. The illustrations are quirky and tell the story of a year in nature, and life cycles. A work of genius!

One of our favourites! A made-up language that takes a bit of time to decipher but when you finally do - oh, the joy!! The pictures depict more than you initially might think so every time you read the story you find new details. Highly recommended :)

So sweet and inventive. Don’t have to speak English to read it. Beautiful illustrations. Love it!

This is an incredible picture book– clever, funny, beautiful, thought-provoking. Buy it for everyone.

I love love love this book! The pictures are amazing and once you get into it you can work out the bug language... I haven't used it with pupils yet but will, we will work it all out together and it will help our decoding skills. However you could just read it as it is, as you want to, and enjoy the sounds and illustrations! It is a beautiful book!

A book thta continues to develop with rereads - you are encouraged to decode the language that on first glance looks like gobbledeegook. Beautiful pictures and a story about the seasons told in a playful and unexpected way.

Love this book which makes children use their inference and prediction skills and come up with good suggestions, some of which need to be corrected after reading on! Lovely pictures. Excellent learning device. Thank you.
