I've been laying down the lines again

[y2kbeautyandother2000sstuff]

I love bugs, all bugs. I have a big spider in my window at night and me and her are friends, I say goodnight to her. A student I subbed for and I saved a daddy long leg in class the other day. My dad helped a worm the other day and saves wasps/bees with his bare hands.

Bugs are great!!!

Stu is ashamed of his bug book. 

I do not know why. 

But I am amused nonetheless.

Couldn't leave the bug book hanging.

Since The Sketchbook Project is shutting down now additionally, I wanted to provide a new way people can experience and check out this bug-themed sketchbook. What I’ve done is I formatted the entire sketchbook – 36ish pages – into an easily printable zine you can download and print at home!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED FOR A MINI ZINE…

• A download of Inksectum (Mini Zine) (PDF) • A color or black and white printer • 5 sheets of 8.5"x11"

HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE MINI ZINE…

Download the pdf file.

Print all 5 sheets.

Fold each sheet in half end to end. Open it up and fold it again length wise. Then fold into quarters. Make tiny books of all 5 pages. I have included a star denoting the front page (with exception to the front cover) and a line to help you with cutting.

Credit to Thomas Tallis School for the folding image.

4. Place each book inside the center of the previous book. Sheet 1 should have sheet 2 in it, and sheet 2 should have sheet 3 in it, etc. 5. Staple or bind with string, if desired.

Do you have a bug lover at your house? The Alphabet Of Bugs; An ABC Book is the book for you! Who knew bugs could be so pretty? Who knew I couldn’t pronounce so many words?? Valerie Gates rhyming descriptions are combined with Ann Cutting’s stunning photographs shows a huge array of all kinds bugs. Each letter of the alphabet shows a bug along with a tongue twister summary of each bug.

Here is a great example; the letter U is for Ulysses Butterfly unveils ultra underlay upon Ube. The page has a beautiful photograph of the Ulysses Butterfly to go with the line. While the pictures are gorgeous most of the words are hard to pronounce and tons of them I had to go look up in the dictionary.

Do you know what a Chrysina resplendens or a Papilionidae butterfly looks like? Travel through the alphabet with The Alphabet of Bugs to learn about the many beautiful and unusually named bugs found in nature—and brush up on those ABCs as well! Valerie Gates’s charming alliterative style paired with Ann Cutting’s stunning photographs of all types of bugs is sure to delight curious children and adults alike.

Children who already know their basic bugs will broaden their horizons, and parents who are tired of simple butterflies and beetles will find this book worth rereading. Spectacular photographs of insects of all kinds will inspire children to learn more about the different creatures found in the natural world. And while children learn about bugs, they are also learning the alphabet through silly sentences. This is an ideal gift for new parents and for young nature-loving children!

Another interesting part of the book is in the back; titled Did You Know…. Glossary For instance did you know…… Owl Wing Butterflies are very l large and can have a wing span of eight inches!! That’s a BIG butterfly!!

Alice loves this book. I think some of the reason she loves the book is hearing The NaNa stutter over some a lot of the words which are too hard for a 3 to 5-year-old to understand let alone read. The pictures are truly beautiful and several of them I’ve never seen before; which is really cool!! So, as a picture book this is awesome. Reading? You are going to have to grab a grown up.
