Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Beedog is especially recommended for young bug lovers." - Donna Gielow McFarland for Readers' Favorite
"The story is wonderful! I love how the story included some trial and error in their research since that is definitely something that we all deal with. What a fantastic story to show kids how they can drive their own learning! In addition to being passionate about getting kids excited about STEM, I also love encouraging them to learn on their own."
- Vicki Wilkinson, Babies to Bookworms
"The author, Addie Broussard, has written a delightful story which is not only entertaining in itself, but also informative about certain types of insects and their habitats. Add to that the activity pages at the end which give the young reader lots of information in a fun way, and this book would make an ideal addition to any classroom for young learners."- Jane Finch for Readers' Favorite

My children loved this book especially right before we headed to the beach- although we couldn't find the beedog on the gulf shores they certainly were talking about it and searching. This book definitely caught their attention and they learned something new along the way! win/win

5.0 out of 5 stars Educational for adults, too

Not only did this story present new information in a kid-friendly way, it had several extras at the end to prolong the learning.

I liked that the story incorporated young people researching online and that it emphasized why insects are given scientific names.

Also, I was impressed by the author’s bio, which described her as a full time traveler. What a way to live!

This is an outstanding read for my grandkids. I like to read to them sitting on my lap. This educational book will help them to be on the lookout for little critters when they are outside. The additional exercises will be a plus for learning about this critter!

A fun story with delightful illustrations. As a teacher, I particularly liked the emphasis on discovery, and the children’s use of trial and error to find answers through their research - all presented in a very accessible way. Any opportunity to show children the importance of persistence is always welcome!

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent choice for children who like discovering things that are right under their noses.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 9, 2018

As a primary school teacher I know that there is a real need for books to engage children in Science and Nature. This book does just that! The fact that it incorporates fiction and non fiction writing is a bonus to appeal to all young readers. It also broadens their knowledge of the world by including some geography, thus encouraging children to see understand the wider world and hopefully fuel a dream to travel and explore as the author has in her life one day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Manny and Cora find out the truth about this fascinating Beedog
Reviewed in Australia on June 8, 2018

The Beedog is an inspiring book that will fascinate young readers. My favourite section in the toilet paper, who knew toilet paper could be used like that? The pictures of the Beedog really captures it's character. The way the kids investigate what the beedog is, is great, young scientist at heart that share their experience and knowledge with their fellow class mates. What a great adventure. There is so much great value in this book, I loved looking at the different wasps at the back of the book, I didn't know there were that many different types. Very cool.

Such a funny interesting book, my niece keeps asking me to read it again. Her favourite is the sand castle scene with Manny and the toilet paper.
