“Love Bug” is a rhyming board book that includes a love bug finger puppet to entertain young readers as they go through the story. The pages describe what a love bug is with the words set to a gently rhyme.

“Love bugs are snuggable,
and lovable that's true.
They're huggable,
and kissable, too!”

“What I liked best is the love bug’s heart. Is that her mouth? (pointing to the picture in the book)”
“Yes.”
“It doesn’t look like a mouth. Why is it not like ours?”
“This book is not good because there is no fighting.”

Parent’s Comment:

The pictures in “Love Bug” are charming. I also liked the progression of the verse. It made it easy for me to act out the actions with my finger puppet with my son, which indeed did have us giggling at the end.

The finger puppet was cute, despite what my son says. Just be careful not to cut the rubber band that holds it in place, like my son did. It is also used to store the finger puppet again with the book.
