"If you’re searching for the perfect spring book to nurture some literacy in science, humor, and nature, then it’s time to meet and greet this magical mantis! Lorrekovich-Miller’s If A Mantis Finds a Fly in the Sky soars with a musical rhyme scheme that keeps young readers engaged and their phonemic awareness skills pest-free! Specifically, my dramatic daughters, ages 3 and 6, giggled and grinned at the clever repetitions, gorgeous illustrations by Alice Pescarin, and the hilarious scenes featuring France, music, hobbies, cooking, and more. Can’t we all agree that we need more comedy amid pandemic life? Savor this book’s LOL (mantis) moments as comic relief and a great fusion of science, age appropriate vocabulary (sight words galore!), and colorful art!
Don’t bug out with boring worksheets when you can fly freely with this clever book. --BOOKB.UZZ

Meet real life praying mantis, Jade, who inspired Victoria's book:

In China, there are 2 martial arts that were based on the movements of the praying mantis. Jade is demonstrating one of the fighting positions here!

So much fun!!
