Description/Notes
CA 2012 USDA Approved NE Materials All the insects in the garden, from ten little black ants down to one tiny flea, get involved in moving a fallen cucumber. Includes a recipe for cucumber soup and factual information about the insects in the story. Kids learn to count when insects try to move a cucumber. As other insects come to the rescue, from nine noisy mosquitoes to two praying mantises, it's the one flea that provides the last bit of strength needed to move the cucumber. And all celebrate with cucumber soup (recipe is included). Full-color illustrations and informational text about each insect provide a basis for the perfect integration of science and math.
