From "Baby Bumblebee" to "The Ants Go Marching," children will sing and learn about the insects they encounter in their own backyards. The enclosed CD features 21 fun songs-old favorites and originals-and the book offers more than 250 activities that help children appreciate the wonderful world of bugs.

Every song has:

• Literacy Links to teach comprehension skills, letter knowledge, and phonemic awareness
• Curriculum Connections to integrate the content of the song with curriculum areas such as math, art, sand and water play, science, outdoor play, field trips, and discovery
• "Did You Know?" section with fun and interesting facts related to the song
• a vocabulary list to enhance children's language skills
• theme connections
• home activities to extend the learning
• related children's books
