Easter Bugs : A Springtime Pop-up by David A Carter
David A. Carter, paper engineer extraordinaire, is back with more pop-up bugs! Fans of <I>The 12 Bugs of Christmas</I>, <I>Alpha Bugs</I>, <I>Love Bugs</I>, and the other silly pop-ups in Carter's insect series, will be delighted at the new surprises in store with <I>Easter Bugs</I>. "Spring has sprung and left winter behind. How many Easter Bugs can you find?" Who's in the dip-dyed rainbow egg? How about the egg with baby blue dots? The jeweled egg? The purple peekaboo egg? Inside each brightly decorated egg waits a new bug, unlike any you'll ever see in nature (unless genetic engineering goes awry). There's the fluffy yellow Chick-Chick Bug, with touchable fleecy soft fur. And some shiny silver Raindrop Bugs. There's even a bucktoothed Bunny Bug with turquoise spots. For a spectacular finale, Carter constructs a basket full of every insect depicted. Kids will have a grand old time guessing what kind of creepy-crawly critter lies behind each egg. Here's one delicious Easter treat that won't cause cavities! (Ages 3 to 6) <I>--Emilie Coulter</I>
