Mustafa and the "BIG BOOK OF BUGS"

Mustafa and me carried out interesting activities in the summer break to learn about insects. The Big Book of Bugs, nature walk, photography and art activities made the learning fun for us.

The book "LITTLE KIDS FIRST BIG BOOK OF BUGS" By Catherine D. Hughes is an inspirational book for Mustafa.
