“What’s Your Favorite Bug?” by Eric Carle and Friends is a beautiful and short picture book where various illustrators and authors describe their favorite bugs. Each artist does an artistic representation of their favorite bug in their own style. Eric Carle describes how he used to not enjoy caterpillars, but they’ve obviously grown on him. Molly Idle, Eric Fan, Denise Fleming, and other awesome artists all let us know that they like bees, peacock spiders, praying mantises, and other bugs!

There isn’t a story to follow along, since it is just each artist telling the reader about their favorite bug, but it is fun and sparks discussion with kids about what their favorite bug is. You can also discuss the different styles of art used. Aimed at children ages 4 through 8, this book is a must-buy for any fans of Eric Carle or libraries with a large Carle collection.
