Broadsides from the Other Orders

Thirteen essays on bugs continue naturalist Sue Hubbell's splendid nature series, which started in 1983 with A Country Year. Hubbell makes each of the bugs fascinating, from the charming katydid to the not-so-charming "killer bees." Barbara Caruso does an excellent job with the first-person narration. Her voice is the voice of Sue Hubbell, and she's as enthusiastic as the author must be with what she knows and learns. This excellent group of essays, well-read and well-recorded, should be a valued addition to any collection. E.F. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
