Longtime collaborators Helen Frost and Rick Lieder team up for a breathtakingly beautiful glimpse at the praying mantis-and entice us to take the time to open our eyes to the world in front of us. The creators of Step Gently Out and many other acclaimed picture books join forces again to look closely at an iconic insect through lyric words and stunning nature photography. When you are outside, if a small quick movement takes you by surprise, stop and look-move nothing but your eyes. Could it be a praying mantis, trying not to be seen? This sixth stunning collaboration between Helen Frost and Robert Lieder urges young readers into the wild outdoors, inviting them to "wait and see" what wonders patient observation has in store.
Invites readers to sharpen their observation skills. . . Children will undoubtedly feel compelled to make up fun stories for these personality-filled creepy-crawlies. . . . A reminder of the wonders we can see in nature if we slow down and pay attention. -Kirkus Reviews Amazing detail of the plants-showing petals and pistons-and photographs of the praying mantis combined with rhythmic text will draw readers in. . . . A strong first purchase. -School Library Journal
