Reviewed first for scribesworld Title: . The Beetle and the Berry Children’s Picture Book Author: . Annie Applefield Author’s Email: Applefield.EandEGroup.com Line/Publisher: . E & E Publishing Release Date: . April 2002 ISBN: pending PDF $3.95 Target Audience K-3 Highly Recommended The Review Arthur the Beetle has found a nice big juicy berry. He is so thrilled and begins to move the berry home. When the berry stops rolling Arthur has a problem to solve. How Arthur works out his dilemma and gets the berry to his house is what this story is all about. The Beetle and the Berry is a colorful book of 14 pages children should enjoy. I enjoyed the tale, and the opportunity The Beetle and the Berry presents for classroom teachers, home school teachers and parents to guide their student discussion about problems and problem solving. The Beetle and the Berry is a book classroom teachers will find of value for ‘free time reading’ and for ‘student tutor’ use. Home school teachers and parents will find The Beetle and the Berry is a good addition to their library. The vocabulary used in The Beetle and the Berry presents a ‘read-to’ circumstance for ages 3-5 and read alone for readers who read on a first/second reader level. The one change to the book that I as a teacher would like to see is a Vocabulary list at the end of the book.
