About this deal

Very gently, Ellis suggests that humans have no idea what wonders are unfolding at their feet--and that what takes place in the lives of insects is not so different from their own.

Just as with nature, a child can begin to see and appreciate the subtle changes, the growth of the plant, the new inhabitants that arrive and the story that unfolds as the cycle of nature unwraps around the text.It stimulates conversation, discussion; children would have great fun giving the bugs names, describing their characters, predicting what might happen next and why in relation to what they already know of the world around them. Every time we read this book we discover new things and I feel that it is teaching my child about nature and discovery, feelings, loss and rebirth. It draws attention to the skills used by children to understand books, as well as highlighting the skills adults need to employ to make stories and books easily understood. Carson matches them with dialogue in the enchanting foreign language of the elegantly dressed beetles and insects that live on a small, eventful patch of earth. And, honestly, if you think about it, picture books are full of words their audience doesn’t understand at first.

The entire story unfolds on the same small stretch of ground, where each new detail is integral to the scene at hand. Come and peer into a miniature world of little puppets to see a delightful group of friends exploring their ever-changing home. But this is the wild world, after all, and something horrible is waiting to swoop down-- booby voobeck!The story, told in an invented insect language, is about some bugs who discover a plant shoot emerging from the ground.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Carson Ellis’s popular picture book is brought truly alive in this exquisitely made and beautifully paced show for children. There’s an elusive yet distinctly joyful quality to Carson Ellis’s picture book that feels like suspended glee, or a laugh caught halfway in the throat. The combined talents of Annie Brooks, Katherine Morton, Sophie Ellen Powell and Lisa Mills elegantly blend design and function. Viewers follow the unfurling of an exotic woodland plant through the actions and invented language of beautifully coiffed and clothed insects…This is certain to ignite readers’ interest and imaginings regarding their natural surroundings.

The performers (at this show Annie Brooks and Katherine Morton) wear matching dungarees and top-knots, engaging the kids whilst they settle with an easy and charming rapport. She has illustrated several children’s books and is both author and illustrator of the picturebook Home. The illustrations are wonderful and each spread offers plenty of details about life in the bugs' world - a twig is not a twig, a toadstool grows, insects serenade one another under a moonlit sky - the circle of life continues. It’s a genuinely charming story with brain-tickling interest from the dialogue, and it earns a satisfying edge from the silent and decisive victory over the spider. I don’t speak Chinese so these bugs really do seem to be speaking a language I truly don’t understand.
