Roberto the Insect Architect By Nina Laden

This cute little succes story follows roberto the termite as he sets off to accomplish his dream of being an architect even though no ones belives in him. If you are a parents reading this book to your child you are going to get a laugh out of it because the author sneaks in little jokes that if you are older you will understand like he calls a reporter barbara waterbugs and diane spider. There are alos funny parts like "terminte chips new homes out of old blocks" so it makes it entertaining for older readers. It also provides a good story about going after what you what and what you believe in.

This pictures in this are amazing. Some of the images look like they are real but have been molded into the scene. It looks like a great job of scrapbooking real images together to make the whole. The pictures are very imaginative as well. You can't but be drawn to the color and the how busy they are. One page stood out to me and that is when Roberto was finished with his houses. Not only are the houses constructed out a variety of scrap material that you would just find, but there are textures on the building. Some big and some small. There are also full scenes within the house. One scene is a city skyline and another shows a birdseye view of a kitchen and another some trees in a park. It is very creative.

I thought it was funny on the back how the auther played with the presentation of the barcode since we just had a speaker on that. They have a termite nibbling on it.
