    About Cicadas!

    “Definitely the best cicada book for kids. Adults will appreciate it as well, as it is well written, factually accurate, and beautifully illustrated.” —Cicadamania.com
    Discover why cicadas are all the buzz in the most complete, comprehensive book for kids about these noisy but harmless insects.

    Every year, annual cicadas emerge and pierce the air with their buzzing calls. Also every year, at least one brood of 13 or 17 year cicadas emerges in some part of the eastern or central United States.  In Spring 2024, both groups will make their appearance in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Author Laurence Pringle and illustrator Meryl Henderson have created the story of this fascinating and often misunderstood insect, one that deserves to be protected.

    Praise

    “[A] clearly written, informative introduction.” —Booklist

    “This smoothly written, beautifully illustrated title will fill a gap in most collections.”—School Library Journal

    ★ ”Even though the format is aimed toward younger readers, the depth of information would make it an appropriate source for older readers in search of research material. The beautiful illustrations would also make this book feasible as an informative read-aloud.” —Library Media Connection, starred review
