Japanese author, Omura Tomoko, published four incredibly popular children's books. All four of them feature "lining up" as the main theme, where she arranges animals, vehicles and insects in an orderly line.
This particular one talks about different insects.
As we move towards the front of the line to figure out what's going on, we learn about insects, from the smallest to the largest...and the biggest surprise is at the end of the story!
Some interesting features:
Each item in line is numbered, so our young readers can start familiarizing themselves with numbers and sequencing
Every creature is labelled — a great way for both parent and child to learn Chinese vocabulary for these topics
Short dialogue snippets are sprinkled throughout to let readers learn about the characteristics or personalities of the insects
