This book is super cute and educational to boot. Learn about the insect world as you go behind the scenes of a nature documentary. Adorable, funny , beautiful bright illustrations this story has it all. You’ll love getting to know this cast of characters and will be hoping to see more of them come story end.

What's a director to do when some of his "actors" turn out to be big hams, or don't show up at all?

Tune in for all the action, drama, and a whole lotta fun when Steven Spielbug films a nature documentary.

You may even learn something.

Cute picture book about bugs conducting a "documentary" of their backyard, in their own "patch of grass". Lovely and fun illustrations, funny dialogue and a great glossary at the end talking about all the bugs you encounter in the book. Overall, a fun little read that will entertain littles and teach them about what one can find in one's backyard.

Thank you to NetGalley, Fran Hodgkins, Dan Tavis - Illustrator, and Tilbury House Publisher for providing the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Cute, colorful illustrations. The nod to David Attenborough is lost on children. The children found it to be a fun story, but the documentary film-making commentary was a little confusing.
Ultimately, I would check this book out from the library, but I would not purchase it.

In a Patch of Grass-This clever book needs an adult reader to appreciate the humor. It’s a hunorous informational text told by a narrator with many other characters. Facts interspersed in the story teach the reader about nature.

OH MY GOSH!!! This is so incredibly adorable! This is the kind of book that children love and adults love to read to children. The parallel of a nature documentary done by members of nature is just the cutest thing ever. The characters are lovely and funny and so well drawn. I can see this being a bedtime story that will be asked for over and over and over again! I'd highly recommend this to any kiddo who likes to explore their backyard, make mudpies, and befriend the insects that are just outside your door!

I'm cracking up dying from laughter over here. This book was just so perfect and such a fun read for my kids and myself.

It is just so clever, David Attenborough and Steven Spielberg are bugs trying to capture the day in the life other insects. From an orb weaver spider that's frustrated that they scared away their breakfast to a grasshopper who wants to be music star. Nothing really works out how they hoped. My favorite one is the slug that finally realizes he makes a mess wherever he goes leaving a slime trail. Feels incredibly embarrassed and is mopping it up lol.

The illustrations on the front of this book immediately caught my attention. They were comical and bright in colors, The insects are all a bit derpy looking in a fun silly way, The story is good but the illustrations make it. I look forward to buying a physical copy to add to our collection of stories.

Perfect for kids age 3/4 or older.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Tilbury House Publishers for this an advance reader copy. My review is voluntarily my own.

I will be posting to major retailers and my instagram the.littlest.bookworm on or before publication date.
