Bartholomew and the Bug


Bartholomew and the Bug by Neal Layton

Bartholomew is a great big bear that wonders what the bright lights off in the distance might be? He isn’t the only one however, a tiny little bug also wonders just what is past the horizon and so the two begin a journey. Once there they experience things they had never thought would happen and they don’t want it to end. In this book, the author does a great job of using many descriptive words that give the reader a perfect visual into what is really going on. Along with this he also uses the words to help tell the story by arranging them in swirly, twirly ways, that make the reader have to turn the book in all sorts of different directions. This fun story is great for children that always think the grass is greener on the other side, until they realize just what they really have.
